Like many Cape Peninsula courses, Westlake has seen a deluge of rain in the past few weeks, 295mm from July 1 to 19! A pity that couldn’t be shared with drier regions in the Eastern Cape. An incredible amount, yet this course has been mostly open for play throughout the bad weather thanks to incredibly good drainage and the sandy soil which is a feature of this area. Members of other clubs, like myself, which have had their courses shut for days on end — and banned golf carts — have been among the visitors.
