WITBANK GOLF CLUB

Witbank Golf Club was built in 1907 by a coal mining company operating in the Witbank area. The golf course started life as a nine hole golf course with sand greens and the clubhouse which was only built in 1928 was a stone thatched building situated adjacent to the present number 2 green... Set in Mpumalanga's Cultural Heartland, and dating back to 1907, Witbank Golf Club was established by a local coal mine and was frequented by miners imported from the U.K. and former soldiers... Original members of the golf club included ex-soldiers who remained after the Boer War and miners who were brought over from the UK and the club was a popular recreation destination for the members of the RAF Air Training School which was based in Witbank for a time.
