SAVE KDM
King David Mowbray Golf Club is more than a golf course – it’s a heritage, a community and a home for generations of members.
We are calling on all members, supporters and friends to stand with us. Together, we can ensure that KDM continues to thrive for futu generations.
OUR CLUB. OUR FUTURE.
Stand with us to protect on of Cape Town’s oldest and most treasured golf clubs.
For more than 110 years, King David Mowbray Golf Club has been a place where communities connect, young golfers develop, champions are made, and thousands of Capetonians enjoy one of the city’s most important green spaces.
Today, that future is under threat.
The City of Cape Town has proposed a major redevelopment of the King David Mowbray precinct. While we recognise and support the need for more affordable housing, we believe there are better solutions that do not require the loss of a historic sporting, environmental and community asset.
Your voice matters.
