THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IRENE GOLF COURSE AND CLUB

In 1912 J. A. van der Byl established a nine-hole golf course South of Irene village. For a number of years the Club House was the small thatched building which still stands at the bottom end of King Street; its thatched walls have been removed. After the first world war the course was extended to eighteen holes and, the Forestry Department having left, the forester’s cottage was converted into the Club House which is used to this day although the old building has been extended.
