Parow Golf Club moved to its present position in 1976, when the local Municipality had the course built upon a design by Ken Elkin. The move was necessary, as the old nine-hole course was becoming too small for the members, and the local authorities sold it for residential and business development. The new course was hacked out of Port Jackson bush and shrubs, and had a fierce reputation at first, when any wayward shot was lost in the thick bushes bordering the narrow fairways. Gradually, the bush was eradicated and the fairways expanded, so that today, it is known as a gentle parklands course, with a variety of water features and an abundance of bird-life.

The Club has gone through boom times and bad times, nearly having to close its doors in 2002/3 when a series of incidents resulted in a major bad time. Since replacing the then Committee in what can only be termed a coup, and appointing a new manager and green keeper, the Club has gone from strength to strength. The alterations and improvements that have been effected since 2003 are far too long to list, but record profits have been ploughed back in to the clubhouse and course, resulting in a Club that can now be counted among the best in Cape Town. Tremendously popular among the local community, having a loyal and proud membership, making transformation a reality and becoming a shining beacon for all other golf clubs to follow, Parow Golf Club is certainly making a name for itself!
