Rolling greens abound at Ruimsig Country Club

For golfing enthusiasts, nothing beats a golf course that encapsulates the best things about the sport. Well-manicured greens and fairways, pleasant weather conditions and a functional clubhouse to relax in. Ruimsig Country Club ticks all these boxes and then some. 
 
About the course 
 
Gary Player is a globally renowned golfer. He designed this course with the help of Ron Kirby in 1984 and the club opened its doors after a lengthy construction process in 1986. This makes Ruimsig Country Club one of the earliest golf courses in the country. It has since boasted impressive pro golfers amongst its membership list such as Ian Palmer, Retief Goosen and Derek James. The club has hosted major golfing events over the years and continues to be a venue of choice for professionals and players. 
 
Let's talk about these infamous greens 
 
The golf course at Ruimsig Country Club has a clear advantage over other South African courses. The sheer surface size of the greens makes for a fast, accurate game of golf which is enjoyable to golfers of any skill level. Ruimsig Country Club is considered to be an "inland links" piece of land. However, there are few trees to hinder the game and instead, the course features wide spaces and numerous dams. The fairways of this large 18-hole course are wildly freeing and evoke a feeling of playing on international grounds. 
 
A social, yet sporty escape 
 
The focus on providing a holistic, well-rounded approach to golfing is evident as soon as you step foot into Ruimsig Country Club. Offering a plethora of activities, treatments and events, the club truly has something for everyone. Whether you are an avid golfer or enjoy other sports such as tennis, swimming, CrossFit, padel, yoga, dance, running or soccer you can enjoy them all here. 
 
The club also has a fully-fledged salon called BeYoutiful. In this relaxing, tranquil environment you can get your nails and hair done, as well as waxing and massages. The salon carries professional, quality products and has a staff of experts who are knowledgeable on a wide range of beauty, health and wellness concerns. You can enjoy complimentary cappuccinos while getting your treatments done and have a much-needed breather. The list of advanced, deep-cleaning facials is competitively priced and uses only the best medical-grade skincare on the market. 
 
Pulzation Dance Studio is an excellent way to stay in shape while still having fun and exploring different methods of movement. Here, you can learn freestyle, contemporary and acrobatic dancing. All ages from 15 upwards are welcome. 
 
Events and happenings at the club 
 
Ruimsig Country Club often hosts special events in support of the local community such as market days, comedy nights, Mother's Day specials, lunchtime specials and more. Live music performances are especially popular on the social calendar and all members are encouraged to socialise and network while having fun. 
 
The event space can also be hired out for private functions and events such as weddings, birthdays, baby showers, engagement parties, conferences and corporate team buildings.
