The Parow Golf Club is one of the best-kept secrets of Cape Town as far as accessibility and general playing friendliness is concerned. This park-like course has an abundance of bird life due to the massive dam in the center of the course. Peacocks, plovers (Club emblem), guinea fowl, Adidas, Egyptian geese, mallards, teal, grouse, pheasant, numerous smaller species, stork, and even some pelicans abound.
