The Kimberley Golf Club, by Virtue of its founding date 3rd July 1890, is rich in history, not only of its own, but
also in the broader sense of the game in this country.
A humble beginning in the halcyon days of the Diamond Fields where the course included putting browns,
followed by diamondiferous blue ground putting greens as well as the use of dynamite for blasting stones on
the fairways (amongst many other oddities) has finally evolved through to the current Bob Grimsdell designed
parkland layout that boasts Elliot grass tee to green, which, in itself is also an oddity.
The course today has two distinct faces, a green summer look that has the ball holding, and a frosted winter
white look that has the ball rolling, whichever the face the course remains particularly player friendly.
