More than a guest, a member of a club
Personalized travel, suiting your preferences with limited availability and exclusive experiences.

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. They are our choices and we are happy to put our name to the quality of their product and its delivery. Each venue 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 every 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 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 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 superb culinary experiences, renowned vineyards, ‘Big Five’ safaris, and the wonderful, untamed wilderness of the continent.
-
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 golf tour. We ensure nothing is left to chance. 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.
It’s your time, your golf tour; you tell us what, where and when you want to go and we will prepare something remarkable and special for you.
Why choose to join the Roan Club?
“…a land blessed with astonishing natural beauty and a growing collection of world-class courses.”

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 fit those in.
From pre-tours of Cape Town and big game fishing to outdoor sports, conservation experiences, or safaris across Namibia, Botswana, and East Africa, we can custom-build your trip to suit you and your group's requirements.
Africa is a magical place of endless discovery, but at The Roan Club, golf is our passion—and we admit that shamelessly. If it is yours as well, we will seamlessly blend the spirit of the continent with the game you love through a tour meticulously curated for you and your inner circle
