Steeped in Tradition
The Timeless Journey of Germiston Golf Club
HISTORY
A Chronicle of Golfing Heritage
Established in 1897, Germiston Golf Club, affectionately known as “The Gem,” has proudly preserved its traditional essence amidst the evolving eras. Nestled in the heartbeat of Germiston, our club's original “Old English” charm is a treasured constant, providing a serene golfing sanctuary away from the modern rush.
Our storied course offers a true par 72, 18-hole challenge, featuring long par 4’s, meticulously rounded greens, and par 3’s that summon the courage of even the most seasoned golfers. The artful design of our small, well-protected greens stands as the course’s most formidable line of defence,
ready to test your strategic play.
An Iconic Destination for Golf Aficionados
Bathed in natural beauty, our large kikuyu fairways, bordered by the serene Victoria Lake, provide a forgiving landscape where your ball is set for a perfect approach. The meticulously manicured grounds are forgiving, yet strategic, with the occasional bunker to keep you alert. As you weave through the picturesque back nine, the reasons why we're christened “The Gem” become delightfully apparent
