Origins

A general meeting was held in Pretoria Town Hall on 12 April 1910 to establish a country club offering, among other facilities, an 18-hole golf course. Pretoria Country Club formally opened on 8 October 1910 and has remained on the same Waterkloof property.

Design Philosophy

The present course reflects multiple architectural periods. Laurie Waters created the original layout, while later work by Bob Grimsdell and Gary Player modified the strategic and physical character of the course.

Development

More than a century of changes have transformed the original 1910 course while retaining its mature parkland setting.

Recognition

Pretoria Country Club has staged high-level professional golf, including the Tshwane Open co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour and European Tour.

Today

The course remains the golf component of a long-established multi-sport country club in Waterkloof.
