Mashie Golf Langebaan

West Coast's Premier Mashie Golf Experience

Mashie Golf Langebaan offers a perfect blend of challenge and accessibility on the West Coast's only Black Knight Design course created by Gary Player Designs. Located within the sprawling 450-hectare Langebaan Country Estate, this 18-hole mashie course provides an ideal setting for golfers of all skill levels.

Course Design

The course is cleverly designed with two distinct sections - an easier front nine that welcomes beginners, followed by a more challenging back nine that will test more experienced players. The longest hole extends to around 160m, making this an excellent venue to practice your short iron game.

Surrounding the course, you'll spot indigenous wildlife including small buck, tortoises (the region boasts one of South Africa's largest varieties of tortoise species), and abundant birdlife amid the natural Fynbos and Renosterveld vegetation.

Family-Friendly Activities

• FootGolf: A fun alternative with larger holes designed for soccer balls
• Equipment Rental: All necessary gear available at reasonable rates
• Clubhouse: Offering refreshments and a place to relax after your round

Local Tips

The famous West Coast wind can make afternoon play challenging - locals recommend booking morning tee times for the calmest conditions. The on-site bar is a popular spot to unwind after a round, offering cold drinks with views of the course.

For visitors planning a longer stay, the course sits adjacent to the West Coast National Park and near one of Southern Africa's most beautiful lagoons, making it an excellent base for exploring the region's natural attractions.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings tend to be quieter, while weekends can get busy with local players. The estate maintains strict environmental practices, creating a non-polluted setting that showcases the best of the West Coast landscape.
