Metropolitan

Metropolitan Golf Club was originally established in 1895 as The Green and Sea Point Golf Club in 1895. The club was relocated to a new location of 9 holes in 1906 and changed its name as it went along. It was exactly a hundred years prior to the golf course, which was nine holes containing fifteen greens - was shut to allow for the construction of Cape Town Stadium. Cape Town Stadium.

A local designer Mark Muller was appointed by the city council to create an alternative layout to the existing one. the result was an identical layout, but this time with 14 different greens and alternate bent grass greens for five holes, with two pins on the remaining four holes. The clubhouse from the 1950s is still in place.

The MET, the nickname it's given by visitors and members - still features 18 distinct holes, each with its own Tees and nine fairways of kikuyu grass. The length of the well-known course is 5,699 meters and covers a land area which isn't larger than 55 acres. There are two par fives on the cards (at on the third hole and at 12th) and a round finishes by playing a stunning par three that stretches over the water, which leads to the green that is home at the front of the clubhouse.
