experience and participate in this spectacle of roses and assortment of
events taking place throughout the city.

The trees lining the fairways are probably the most outstanding feature of the par 72 golf course with a course rating of 72. Bunkers are mostly found only around the greens and a few shallow water hazards make holes 5, 6, 8, 9 and 12 very interesting. The Golf Club was recently awarded the prestigious Golden Arrow Award for being the most outstanding sports club in the Free State and Northern Cape.
Golf officially began in Bloemfontein when Dr CH Bidwell placed an advert in the local paper THE FRIEND, that simply read "It is the purpose to form a golfing club in Bloemfontein for which purpose a meeting of those interested in the game and desirous of joining the club will be held in the council chambers at 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon next, 3rd February 1894". The names of twenty gentlemen were enrolled as members of the club. The leading golf architect Robert Grimsdell was brought in to lay out a fully grass course.
