Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a 'Mashie Course' and who is the Chelsea Mashie Course best suited for?

A mashie course, like Chelsea, is essentially a shorter, par-3 style layout, perfect for honing your short game or enjoying a quick round. We think it's ideal for beginners, families, or experienced golfers looking to sharpen their wedges and irons without committing to a full 18-hole marathon.

We recommend visiting during South Africa's autumn (March-May) or spring (September-November) for the most pleasant weather - think mild temperatures and less wind. While you can play year-round, these seasons offer comfortable conditions that truly let you enjoy the course without battling the elements.
