Founded as Van Ryn Golf Club in 1906 the Benoni Country Club came into existence due to the discovery of gold because it was originally a facility established for the employees of the Van Ryn mine.

With a strong golf  course, tennis, bowls and a  squash section, all in spacious grounds where birds and wildlife thrive, this is indeed a country club although situated in the heart of suburbia.

Each section has an active and enthusiastic membership and provides interested people with regular and complete updates of their activities.

It is not known who actually laid out the original golf course but whoever it was certainly knew what they were doing and although various changes have been made over the years the basic character of the course still remains ‘old-school parkland’ – rather flat and well wooded, but set up for championship play.

Some years back the club introduced wildlife to the golf course and there is something very special about seeing springbok and blesbok strolling about the greens.

But it’s not all about sport!  With more than enough room for entertaining in separate areas of the large clubhouse, reasonable prices and excellent cuisine it is little wonder that a large percentage of this club’s revenue comes from private functions.

All in all, the Benoni Country Club is a wonderful venue for friends, colleagues and families!
