Victoria Country Club

Club History

Victoria Country Club traces its origins to the Victoria Club, which held its inaugural meeting on 16 June 1859, with the clubhouse opening in October 1859. The Victoria Club merged with Maritzburg Country Club on 22 January 1997 to form the present Victoria Country Club. The site later integrated a residential development known as Victoria Country Club Estate, with the agreement concluded in 2004. The golf course was remodeled and upgraded, with changes integrated with the estate in 2008 and a major course upgrade reopening in April 2007. Learn more about the club's history.
