WELCOME TO OBSERVATORY GOLF CLUB
OGC is a club steeped in history and from its early and humble beginnings in 1914, the club has grown and evolved into one of the more popular destinations in the Central Gauteng region. The course, while challenging, offers an enjoyable experience for golfers of varying skill level and ensures that golfers return often to test their game. Our objective is to provide the highest quality of service to our valued members and guests on a course that is as visually appealing as any in the region. We have worked hard over the years to become a vital part of the community and strive to accommodate all golfers who have come through to enjoy our course and what we have to offer. Like our slogan says, a club and course for the people.
