Pretoria Country Club

Founded in 1910, the Pretoria Country Club nestles in the scenic beauty of Waterkloof, one of the city's most prestigious suburbs.

In the early months of the year 1909, Mr Julius Jeppe was contemplating the formation of a Country Club and the construction of a golf course in Waterkloof. Mr Jeppe owned a "Shooting Lodge" on the site of the present Country Club buildings, and he used to bring shooting and fishing parties over from Johannesburg at weekends.

On the 12th of April, 1910, a General Meeting was held in the Town Hall of "gentlemen interested in the formation of a Country Club" and they resolved "to form a Country Club, provided at least 300 members join same: and that the first 300 members shall be Foundation Members". Some of the advantages offered by the Country Club would be: "The use of a Club House with billiard Room, the use of a lake, tennis courts and croquet lawns, and an eighteen hole golf course. Almost a hundred years have passed since, and the advantages of membership at the Pretoria Country Club has changed little.

Over the years it became a landmark in Pretoria. It is renowned as the quality sports and social venue set in magnificent surroundings. Steeped in this tradition, the Club offers its members a variety of facilities in a secure environment.
