Schoeman Park Golf Course, Maselspoort Road, Bloemfontein, Free State / Schoeman Park Golf Club, as it is known today, had its origin in 1904 when a few Scottish members of the old Bloemfontein Railway Institute started playing golf on a nine hole golf course.
Today the Club building and grounds still belong to Transnet, but the club is a separate legal entity, operating as a Section 21 company.

The trees lining the fairways are probably the most outstanding feature of the par 72 golf course with a course rating of 72.
Bunkers are mostly found only around the greens and a few shallow water hazards make holes 5, 6, 8, 9 and 12 very interesting.
The Golf Club was recently awarded the prestigious Golden Arrow Award for being the most outstanding sports club in the Free State and Northern Cape.
