Why choose to join the Roan Club?
-
The Roan Club is not a corporate machine; it is owned and operated by three passionate individuals with decades of combined experience in both professionally managed golf tours and luxury African safaris. When you tour with us, you are a member, not a customer. With limited tours available every year, we ensure your exclusive membership is valued
-
We do not believe in "brochure browsing." Every location we stay are place we wanted to play and stay. They are our choices and we are happy to put our name to their quality of product and delivery. Each one has been personally vetted, tried, and tested by us. We have played every hole on every golf course on the itinerary (with mixed success, admittedly). We have visited evey hotel and lodge, personally tasted the food and have over-indulged in the wines to ensure only the absolute best make the final cut for your journey.
-
Our philosophy is built on the belief that a premium tour requires intimacy. We specialize in small, exclusive tours where camaraderie, friendship, and tailored service define the experience. This ensures that you aren't just one of many; you are an essential part of an elite group sharing a memorable adventure.
-
The Roan Club designs, curates, and runs premier Golf Tours first and foremost. However, it just so happens that South Africa offers a "nineteenth hole" experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Between rounds, you will enjoy spectacular, superb culinary experiences, renowned vineyards, Big Five safaris, and the wonderful, untamed wilderness of the continent.
-
Perhaps most importantly, absolutely nothing is left to chance. Every detail of your journey—from airport transfers to tee times—has been meticulously thought through and catered for. We maintain a support network of offices in each location, with experienced, discrete teams behind the scenes, ready to spring into action if needed.
“…a land blessed with astonishing natural beauty and a growing collection of world-class courses.”
