Clovelly’s positioning on the mountainside above False Bay provides breathtaking views and a pleasant experience. The course is short (5794 from the back) but is protected by tight holes and several water hazards. This requires well-planned tee shots to set up the approach shot. Definitely not a course for pulling out the driver all the time. Some lines and angles are tricky. Conditioning was good, the greens receptive and true. Good practice facilities and friendly service. The course rating for handicap purposes seems to indicate an easier course probably because of the shorter length, but for me this was countered by the tight holes and hazards, so accuracy is paramount.
