Irene Country Club

Situated in the lush and serene suburb of Irene, our club has a lot to offer. Originally established as a golf club in 1911, the Irene Country Club has since expanded to include a range of other sporting activities. This includes; tennis, cricket, bowls, and squash (in addition to golf, of course). Our club includes an 18-hole golf course, a cricket pitch, 2 bowling greens, 6 tennis courts (4 of which are floodlit), 2 squash courts, and a driving range.

The idea of a Golf Course at Irene was conceived by Bertie van der Byl at about the time of Union in 1910. The first Committee meeting, under the chairmanship of J.A. van der Byl, was held in 1911 when it was resolved to establish a golf course of nine holes costing roughly ₤500. Among the vice-Presidents nominated were General Smuts and Sir Percy Fitzpatrick.

Our Pro Shop is stocked with the latest equipment and clothing from top manufacturers.
