During 1988 a meeting was held, attended by some 30 people, in a private house with the object of establishing a Golf Club. An interim committee was elected to facilitate the process and during 1989 a Public Meeting was held to obtain the blessing of the Homeowners/RatePayers, etc. During December 1989 a formal Committee was elected consisting of prominent people like: Mof Terreblanche, John du Toit, Charl Krige, Willy Stevens, Francois Malherbe, B. Basson. Alan Martindale was later co-opted onto the committee and he played a leading role over many years in the management/running of the Club. With the assistance of many others these gentleman were instrumental in the final planning/approvals for the establishment of Kleinmond Golf Club. During 1990/1991 the Golf Course was constructed and by Easter 1991 the first Golf Day was held on a very rough new course. The Clubhouse was a caravan parked next to a fairway. During 1991 an old abattoir was acquired form the Municipality and transformed into a very basic Clubhouse. Members signed personal Suretyships to finance this luxury. On 8 January 1992 Mr F.W. de Klerk (State President of the Republic of South Africa) formally opened the Kleinmond Golf Club and Clubhouse. At this time the club had approximately 40 members. From humble beginnings Kleinmond Golf Club has grown to a Club with 600 members. Monies generated by golfing activities over the last 12 years or so have financed all improvements to the Golf Course and Clubhouse. Many visitors (both local and overseas) frequent the Club and some 60% of income are derived from this source. Kleinmond Golf Club is visitor friendly and the philosophy of the Club is to provide a memorable/affordable experience to both members and visitors alike. The Club is non-gender and women are full members with exactly the same playing rights in all competitions. This attitude is non-negotiable and one the Club will continue to focus on. The success story of Kleinmond Golf Club, which is a credit to the town of Kleinmond and surrounding areas, can only be attributed to the enthusiasm, efforts and loyal support of our members/visitors and Committees since 1992.
