Simon's Town Country Club — Restaurant in Western Cape

My assessment of this course is bittersweet. Although the stunning scenery has a strong appeal, the course conditions were shockingly subpar – the worst I've experienced. The greens were in such disrepair that even the shortest putts became uncertain, making every shot a gamble. Furthermore, the lack of clear distinction between the fairway and rough in certain areas added to the challenge. Considering Cape Town's dry January season, I tried to be understanding of this, and I believe the conditions are most probably much better in the rainy seasons.

However, the significant number of inconsiderate dog walkers on the course, disregarding golfers' right of way, was unsettling. On multiple occasions, I had to wait or adjust my play to avoid disturbing them.

My adult sons and 83 year old Father who has been playing golf for 40 years has never been so rudely treated as what we can only think was the local groundskeeper today 27th June. He admonished my Dad for pulling his golf cart across the green? Apparently his cart he was pulling caught the end of the green and the groundskeeper arrived on his lawnmower and proceeded to complain to my Dad to not do that on his greens. My dad has been playing golf for the past 40 years, I don’t think he has ever broken a rule in his life- he apologized for his error and was told to ‘not do it again?!?’ - then later in the game groundskeeper arrived to move a hole and stood on the green in front of the putting waiting for them to finish with all his equipment- This man needs to polish up his customer interaction skills - they decided to cut the game short as this left such an...

Went for Sunday lunch (didnt have a booking) Nothing spectacular if youre looking for glitz and glamour. But WOW!!!!!!! Went into a time warp back to the 80's and early 90's If your looking for traditional home cooked sunday roast (3 course meal [soup, roast beef & chicken with roast potatoes, rice, 3 veg and gravy, then baked choc pudding and custard)... Greatest value for money ever!!!! Table cloths old but clean .... Serving staff definitely not the Ritz waitrons ...but simply pleasant helpful staff that really gave us a good lunch.

Well done you guys !!!! Don't change a thing.... South Africa needs more of these down to earth places.... Its our definite destination for Sunday lunch even if I need to drive...
