Description: An 18 hole, championship course located on the banks of the Vaal River. Includes details of the course and green fees.
In 1939, legendary golf club architect Bob Grimsdell was commissioned to build a nine hole golf course on the banks of the VaalRiver in the town of Orkney. His fee was one hundred pounds. The wooden log cabin style clubhouse was built form Oregon pine crates which winding hoist parts had been shipped in from overseas for the Western Reefs mine in Orkney. There was no liquor license available then but the locker system served the thirsty members. The course was officially opened in 1939 by Ernest Oppenheimer, the Chairman of the Anglo American Corporation.
