Country club · Harare

An old-school fairway that bends left, and evenings that run long.

A parkland golf course with character, a clubhouse that fills up for live music and Sunday braais, and a bar that's kept the pool table warm for years. Members and guests both — everyone gets the same friendly welcome.

The course

Built for a draw, not a fade.

Sherwood plays like a course from another era — mature, uncrowded, and shaped by the land rather than against it. The signature is its run of holes doglegging left, which regulars will tell you rewards a controlled draw and punishes anyone who only plays it straight.

"Perfect round for drawers of the golf ball."

It's not a manicured resort course, and it doesn't try to be. What it offers instead is a proper test of shot-shaping, caddies who know every line on the property, and a clubhouse walk back that's as good as the round itself.

Amenities

Golf brings you in. The rest keeps you around.

Between rounds, church functions, and Friday nights, Sherwood has settled into being as much a social hub as a golf club.

1Live music evenings
The clubhouse has become one of Harare's regular spots for a live band, drawing a mixed crowd for good — if occasionally repeated — acts. Not too loud to talk over, loud enough to dance to.
2Bar & pool table
A relaxed lounge with a pool table for anyone who likes a game between drinks. Food is described by regulars as affordable, and drinks as fairly priced — no country-club markup.
3Braais & functions
Church groups, family gatherings and private functions are regularly hosted here, with staff singled out by visitors as genuinely accommodating and friendly.
4Indoor & outdoor space
Both covered and open-air areas, so an evening can move from the course, to the veranda, to the bar, without ever really ending.

An old-school golf course with holes that dogleg to the left — a perfect round for anyone who naturally draws the ball.

Looks old, but the toilets are clean and the staff is friendly. We came for a church braai and the club was really accommodating — couples chilling with good music, never too loud.
