Azamare Guest House
ROYAL CAPE GOLF
Overview
Royal Cape golf course is South Africa’s oldest and traditionally most prestigious course, set to the backdrop of Cape Town’s Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak. With over 130 years of proud history and tradition, Royal Cape Golf Club is South Africa’s official home of golf. Today its a classic 18-hole championship parkland course.
The oldest club in South Africa founded in 1885, the prestigious Royal Cape golf course has a sense of history and tradition. It lies in the shadow of Table Mountain and has a flattish parkland layout fringed with lovely mature trees and enhanced by numerous established lakes. This challenging course has been home to the South African Open on many occasions.
Water comes into play on the 3rd, 4th and 5th holes. Later from the 14th to 16th holes and from every hole you enjoy superb views of Table Mountain. The 15th hole is a lovely par 3 requiring a finely judged shot over the water. The course has fast greens which present a real challenge. The design – an open layout is exposed to the wind. So on a windless day, the Royal Cape can be forgiving, but in a stiff breeze it can be an absorbing challenge, although the mature trees lining the fairways do help. The fairways are narrow, demanding accuracy off the tee. Wayward shots can be heavily penalized amongst the trees and the greens are well bunkered.
The course features tree lined narrow fairways, subtle USGA spec built greens and challenging bunkers.Royal Cape Golf Club has hosted the SA Open on ten occasions as well as many other professional and top amateur events. Winners at Royal Cape include Gary Player, Ernie Els and Mark McNulty. Royal Cape is designed to accommodate players of all skill levels, and visitors are most welcome to join us for a truly memorable Royal golfing experience.

Preparing for your trip
PREPARING FOR YOUR
SAFARI
Pre-Travel Information
PASSPORTS
Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the return date of your arrangements and have a minimum of three blank visa pages excluding endorsement pages.
Travellng with minors - in addition to having a valid passport and valid visa (if applicable), children under the age of 18, traveling through Botswana’s borders, must be in possession of a certified copy of their unabridged birth certificate (one that shows the particulars of a minor and those of both parents).
A child under the age of 18 traveling to Botswana and/or South Africa with just one parent must carry an affidavit signed by the other parent consenting to such travel. Failure to produce the necessary documentation may result in travelers being turned away at port of entry.
Insider Tips
Zimbabwe and Mozambique visas each use up a full passport page. If you are visiting both countries we recommend a minimum of four blank pages.
Post Covid passport renewals are taking much longer than in the past so don’t leave applying for a new passport until the last moment as there iust a chance you won’t receive it in time to travel.
Keeping your passport safe is key as there is nothing worse than having to spend precious holiday time replacing it. Make at least two copies of the ID page of your passport, visa (if obtained in advance of travel), Covid-19 vaccine passport, travel itinerary, travel insurance, credit cards and any other travel documentation. One copy can be an image scan and the other a hard copy which you can give to a family member, business associate or close friend for safekeeping
HEALTH
When it comes to health risks and medical precautions, Machaba Blue is only able to offer limited advice as outlined below.
Those with underlying chronic conditions should ideally seek medical advice prior to planning their journey.
Prior to traveling to Africa, we highly recommend you visit a medical professional such as your GP or local travel clinic for advice on what health precautions need to be taken. This visit should take place at least 4-8 weeks prior to departure as it will determine the need for any vaccinations and/or antimalarial medication as well as identifying any other medical precautions.
Currently no mandatory vaccinations are required when entering Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. Please check if this is still the case when visiting your GP or travel clinic.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by visitors coming from a country where yellow fever occurs, or if they have been in transit for more than 12 hours at an airport in a country here yellow fever occurs.
Malaria is present throughout southern Africa and in certain areas of South Africa.
Insider Tips
- Take out comprehensive travel insurance to safeguard against the unexpected. Should you fall ill or have an accident when staying in a remote area you may have to be evacuated by air to a private medical facility which is a costly exercise.
- Carry the name and contact details of your doctor together with information pertaining to any medical condition and its treatment.
- If you take prescription medication ensure you carry sufficient to last the duration of your trip, plus a little extra in case of flight delays.
- Prescription medication should be kept in its original container which should be clearly labelled.
- More unusual drugs and ones that contain sedatives should be carried with a medical attestation signed by a physician certifying the traveler requires the medication for a specific medical condition.
- Ask you medical practitioner to recommend items for a basic first aid kit
- In the event your checked bag is lost or delayed we recommend you carry prescription medication including anti-malaria tablets, spare contact lens and essential toiletries in your hand luggage.
- If you travel with a CPAP machine, please advise us well in advance so we can check your chosen safari lodges/camps are able to run a generator throughout the night. Alternatively, you may choose to carry a portable battery pack that can be re-charged daily.
- Please advise us of any special dietary requests in advance of travel.
