The people and organisations behind Hillwood

Royal Cape Golf Club

Over the past three years, Royal Cape Golf Course has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth and development of over 100 students through its dedicated support. This commitment to nurturing young talent has created invaluable opportunities for aspiring golfers, providing them with the skills, training, and resources needed to excel in the sport. As of now, the Academy continues to thrive, with 40 students actively enrolled, benefiting from the high-quality coaching and facilities offered by the course. The ongoing development of these students is a testament to the course’s dedication to uplifting the next generation of golfers.

The relationship between the Academy and Royal Cape Golf Club is a remarkable gesture of goodwill, driven by the generosity of its management. This partnership has provided the foundation upon which the Academy was built, and it continues to be a driving force behind its success. Without the unwavering support of Royal Cape Golf Club, the Academy would not have come to fruition, nor would it be able to continue providing these crucial opportunities to young golfers. The club’s involvement is not just a sponsorship but a meaningful investment in the future of the sport and the community.

Norrköping Söderköping Golfklubb (NSGK)

Our partnership with Renströmmen Golf and Norrköping Söderköping Golfklubb (NSGK) in Sweden began in 2024, when they joined us as international partners. Their support and participation added a global flair to the Renströmmen Golf Day, held on 31 August 2024, which was a remarkable success and showed the spirit of collaboration and passion for golf that drives our community.

Building on the success of 2024, Renströmmen and NSGK once again contributed in August 2025, continuing their strong support and making the fundraising event a celebrated annual fixture on the NSGK calendar. We extend our heartfelt thanks for two years of partnership that have enriched our programs and strengthened international ties. Together, we look forward to creating even more impactful opportunities and memorable golfing experiences.

MW Sport USA LLC

Hillwood Golf Academy is proud to acknowledge MW Sport USA LLC as an official partner. MW Sport USA has generously supported the Academy with a donation of golf gloves, helping our young golfers participate with confidence and dignity while developing their skills on the course.

Based in Palmetto, Florida, MW Sport USA shares Hillwood's commitment to empowering Cape Town youth through sport and community development. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to building a meaningful relationship that creates future opportunities for our students.

Laureus Sport For Good Foundation

Brian and his wife Carol attended the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation incubation hub for training, which significantly boosted the Academy’s organisational capacity. Through their participation, the Academy gained practical tools, mentorship, and operational frameworks that improved program delivery, monitoring, and long-term sustainability. Laureus also supported this year’s end-of-year celebration by contributing gifts for the children, helping create a memorable event that recognised their progress and encouraged continued participation. This combination of strategic capacity-building and direct community support has had a meaningful impact on the Academy’s growth and student experience.

The Golfer's Club

The Golfer’s Club has generously provided the Academy with a selection of golf attire and equipment. Their contribution includes a variety of high-quality apparel and gear, ensuring that the students and staff are well-equipped for their golfing activities. This generous donation not only supports the Academy's golf program but also fosters a spirit of sportsmanship and engagement in the sport.

Mercedes-Benz Constantiaberg

Mercedes-Benz has generously supported the Academy with a financial contribution, playing a key role in its continued growth and success. This contribution has not only provided vital resources but has also enabled the Academy to implement its programs. Their support reflects a strong commitment to empowering youth development and fostering future talent within the sport.

Retreat Boards

Retreat Boards has joined the Academy as a new partner, donating funds to support the transport and refreshments that help our learners get to Royal Cape Golf Club and enjoy a refreshment after their golf tuition. Reliable transport removes one of the biggest obstacles to taking part, and a drink and a snack after each lesson helps young golfers recover and head home feeling cared for.
