Note the clubhouse, tennis courts, squash court, swimming pool & play area for kids. 2 Letter from the Chairman Zwartkop Country Club is steeped in history. Its fairways and greens speak softly and with reverence of the Golfing Greats who have graced them over the past 75 years – from Jack, Arnie, Gary, Lee and all the others. Many an exhibition match, many a Championship and many a SA PGA Tour event have been fought for and won here. More recently, the Ladies Tour have added to this beauty and all have played as determinedly as the men from yesteryear. Over the years the changes to the original course have tightened and improved the experience of membership and playing The Game at Zwartkop CC. Yet, despite these 75 years we are blessed with a Club that is vibrant and forward thinking. The Zwartkop juniors continue to grow in number and capability and the future is on a solid base. We are blessed with a growing number of Bowlers, who continue to do the Club proud. The Bowls section is a strong and focused group of wonderful people who play to enjoy themselves, but always to win! They too do us proud at provincial and national level. Similarly, the Snooker section is a tightly knitted group who consistently perform and represent Zwartkop CC at all levels. We value the commitment and exemplary pride they display. No Club exists, and indeed grows, without the requisite supporting functions.
