The layout of the course then is not known but it is certain that playing conditions at their best were rough, although it did provide much good sport over the links to the early pioneers of the game in Africa. In November 1910, His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught and his wife the Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia visited the Club, and in 1925, the Prince Edward, the then Prince of Wales, was hosted by the Club.

The Victoria Falls: The Falls are one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a spectacular sight. Locally known as the smoke that thunders - Mosi-oa-Tunya - the Falls plunge into a 300 ft gorge and spans 1.8km width of the mighty Zambezi River. It also spans the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. When the river is in full flood, the Falls are seen as the largest curtain of falling water in the world. History of Livingstone Town: Named after the famous Victorian missionary explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, Livingstone was established in 1905. As a major European settlement, the town was made the capital of Northern Rhodesia in 1911. As the capital, it enjoyed excellent facilities far superior to anything in the country, as can be seen from the surviving Edwardian colonial buildings that line the city's main road, and even had the distinction of having the country's first newspaper.
