Glendower hosts corporate golf events or golf days, junior monthly opens and ladies golf on our 18-hole golf course. Classic golf experience, Gauteng, South Africa.

With a proud history dating back to 1935, Glendower has held many of the country’s flagship tournaments. In 1939 the club played host to its first major tournament, The Transvaal Open Championship. Glendower truly offers a challenge and accuracy is the key. The practice area is located behind the clubhouse, and the practice putting green is in front. Glendower has a quality stocked pro shop and PGA qualified professional Rudy Whitfield along with his trained assistants can assist you with custom fitting of the best golf equipment, apparel and accessories at great prices. The farm was 126 morgan in extent with much of it being taken up by plantations of trees. An English golf architect, Mr Charles Hugh Alison was employed to plan the course and a South African professional golfer, A.F.Tomsett, was assigned the task of the construction. It was also planned that the club should have a polo pitch but this was abandoned due to the high cost of leveling the ground. Such was the standard of the work and layout that after only two years the club played host to its first major tournament, The Transvaal Open Championship. This proclamation was in order to preserve the excellent bird-life that is to be found on the course. All 18 greens were reshaped and rebuilt, new tee positions were added, existing water hazards were cleared and extended and new water features added at a number of holes. The club has a wonderful history and with the foresight and efforts of previous and current committees we are prepared to continue our proud heritage into the new millennium. Every single experience that you encounter at Glendower is a Moment Of Truth.
