The Club officially opened on the farm Zwartkops in 1933, and is currently one of South Africa’s most loved Golf Courses – a true legend in the golfing landscape.

The philosophy for the Club is to offer a friendly, golf experience at a reasonable price. Zwartkop is an all-inclusive members club which, in addition to a golf course, has a Golf Academy and a branch of The Golf School of Excellence.

It is a club that honours the tradition and history of the game of golf and a course which gives all golfers an unforgettable experience. The layout is a classic parkland challenge, with tree-lined fairways and the Hennops River, which meanders through ten of its holes.

Over the years many of the world’s great champions have walked the fairways of Zwartkop. Back in the early sixties Gary Player brought Arnold Palmer to South Africa to play in a series of exhibition matches, one of which was held at Zwartkop. In 1966 the Dunlop Masters was staged at Zwartkop. At that time other than Gary Player, our leading players were the Henning Brothers, Cobie le Grange, Papwa Sewgolum and Denis Hutchinson to name a few, but it was won by Cedric Amm who played four flawless rounds to win his only tournament on our Sunshine Tour. Also in 1965, Gary Player brought Jack Nicklaus out to play in a series of exhibition matches and once again Zwartkop was the venue for one of the matches. Billy Casper was next to play against Gary Player at Zwartkop and a number of years later it was Lee Trevino, Seve Ballesteros, Gene Littler and Gary Player that made up a four-ball for a wonderful series that is still remembered by many golfers in South Africa…
