The ERPM Golf Club came into being in 1903 when three holes were built around the first school in Boksburg: a wood and iron structure that is still standing today. The building was also used as the first clubhouse and is situated on the right hand side of the first fairway.
In 1906, 18 holes were completed. The president at the time was Col Sir George Farrar, who was instrumental in floating East Rand Property Mines Limited on May 8 1893.
In 1926, under the supervision of Peter Coetzer, who served the club as secretary/greenkeeper for 51 years, the fairways were hand planted by the members and fir trees were planted. Some of these trees are still a major feature of the course. –
