King David Mowbray has one of the more challenging 18th holes among the Cape Town courses, and this 412-metre par 4 has become a little bit tougher with the addition of another water hazard. The hole has always had a large dam left of the narrow green, now there’s also a stream running through the trees for about 50 metres on the right side of the fairway, between the green and the 100-metre marker. The shallow stream has been built to pump water from new boreholes into the main dam, thus reducing the club’s reliance for irrigation on the unreliable treated effluent supply from the municipality.
