Tradition and Detail – Country Club Johannesburg

ABOUT

The Johannesburg Country Club is located in a relatively little-known but idyllic corner of the city. Spend an afternoon enjoying the superb gardens and exploring the history of the Club, which ties in so closely to that of Joburg itself.

As part of the tour we’ll visit the Secretary’s Residence and its lovely garden, view the original squash courts with their antique but very effective air conditioning system, and pay our respects at the garden of remembrance.

We’ll also pop in at the old stable-block where members’ horses, polo ponies and hunters were attended to, and chat about the original spruit (still running) and lake that developed out of the original farm dam – a lovely spot where the dandified beaux of Johannesburg punted with their young ladies.

The afternoon will end with tea and scones on the terrace.
