Golf, being a famous sport in South Africa, makes it very problematic for golfers to find tee times at their chosen slot, especially on weekends and holidays, unless booked in advance.
So, if you plan to play golf, you must reserve your place early to avoid disappointment. If you are a experienced player, buying a membership with a country club near to you can be helpful.
Some of the immediate benefits of a country club membership include

The amenities include a restaurant, soccer and gym facilities, beauty and hair parlour, dance studio, and a golf lessons centre.
