About the Club

On 14 November 1885, Lt Gen Sir Henry d'O Torrens held a meeting at the castle in order to introduce golf and start a golf club.  This was where the Cape Golf Club, the first in South Africa, came to be.
The club was situated on the Waterloo Green at the Wynberg Military Camp.  In 1891 it was moved to Rondebosch Common but this was found to be an unsuitable location as the common was open land and used for recreational purposes by horsemen and football players alike.  This made maintenance of the greens and fairways an impossible task.  
14 years later, in 1905, the club was once again relocated.  This time to its current position with the official opening taking place in 1906.  The Club hosted the SA Open and the SA Amateur Championships for the first time in 1910.  By this time, the game of golf had grown with leaps and bounds in the Cape Peninsula.
During the same year, the Club received a visit by HRH Duke of Connaught.  He was at the time representing the King at the opening of the first Parliament of the Union of South Africa.  King George V conferred the title of Royal on the Club during 1910 to commemorate this historic  visit.
