  • Our philosophy is built on the belief that a premium golf journey requires intimacy. We specialize in small, exclusive groups where camaraderie, friendship, and a tailored service define the experience. This ensures that you aren't just one of many; you are an essential part of an elite membership sharing a memorable adventure.

  • 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 join the Roan Club, you are a member, not a customer. With only a select number of tours offered each year, your membership remains exclusive and truly cherished.

  • We do not believe in "brochure browsing." Every location the Roan Club journeys, are places we have played and stayed.  Each venue has been vetted, tried, and tested by us. We have played every hole on every golf course on the itinerary (with mixed success, admittedly). We have tasted the food and have over-indulged in the wines to ensure only the absolute best make the final cut for your journey.

  • The Roan Club designs, curates, and runs premier golf journeys 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 superb culinary experiences, renowned vineyards, ‘Big Five’ safaris, and the wonderful, untamed wilderness of the continent.

  • It’s your time, your golf trip; this is not economy class, it’s not for everyone - just you and a few select others.

    Value for money is the currency of many tour companies, but the Roan Club appreciates that your time is the most valuable commodity. You have earned the right to expect a flawless, elite golf experience.

    Every detail of your journey— from airport transfers to tee times, from the place you sleep to the place you eat— has been meticulously thought through and catered for to ensure it is elite.

How to join the Roan Club

We do not offer pre-determined itineraries with specific departure dates and days.

We design a tour based on what you and your group want - where you want to play, where you want to visit, for how many days, when and for what number of people.

If you have non-golf interests, we can easily include wine, food, cultural and nature tours while the rest of the tour golf.
