The Bloemfontein Golf Club is 113 years old. The Club has had many highlights throughout its existence and thanks to its loyal members, the Club has come to the point where they have over 850 members at present.

Bloemfontein's last five holes - all water holes, rival the toughest in South Africa. The 14th, is a par-five of 478 metres. The river that flows though the course is a major threat here. The water must be crossed with the tee shot and also comes into play down the left-hand side of the fairway and right up to the green.

The 15th is a demanding par-four of 429 metres. The river again comes into play on the left, while the giant, three-tiered green is guarded by bunkers to the left and to the right. A big sand trap in the middle of the fairway 60 metres short of the green can cause immense problems with the approach, while a bunker to the left of the green and a grass bunker to the right add to the severity of the closing hole.
