The Bellville golf course is situated in the magnificent Welgemoed Valley with panoramic views of the Hottentots Holland mountains in the distance. The course was originally a 9-hole design by Bob Grimsdell, play officially began during 1958, when it was known as the Welgemoed Golf Club.
In 1981 it was upgraded to 18 holes by course architect Bill Kerr. Major changes were later undertaken by Mark Muller and the "new" course came into play early in 1995. This 72 Par, 6000 meter course, offers the golfer the opportunity of a challenging round of golf.
When upgrading the course architects made every effort to incorporate the natural contours and features of the course. This resulted in a course that caters for golfers of all levels of expertise. It is well bunkered, well watered and has 5 water holes. The greens are American Creeping Bent and the lush Kikuyu fairways allow good lies. The practice putting and chipping greens are situated near the Clubhouse.
The dams and water canals are abound with birds and wild fowl. The manicured fairways and greens, lined with a variety of trees and specially created floral features, all add to the tranquil and pleasing setting.
The course is hardly affected by local prevailing winds. It is a fairly challenging course with a few water hazards and well-placed bunkers. Always green and lush and definitely worth a visit.
