While each of these establishments had its own proud history,muchof its membership was shared. Judge Lushington Phillips was instrumental in the formation of the club and he was the first honorary secretary. For some years there were no permanent chairmen; the honorary secretary called meetings and committee members took turns in chairing these. This changed in 1876 when a full-time secretary was employed and thereafter the chairman was elected annually. The merged club was domiciled at the premises of the Maritzburg Country Club. For the first twenty years there were a number of chairmen and committee members who were common to the two clubs, although no one was chairman of both clubs at the same time. But there were always large numbers of dual members. A golf course had been in existence for some years before a committee was formed in 1934 and Bob Grimsdell the foremost course architect, was commissioned to develop the course layout. Activity at the Club resumed after the war and several changes were made to the golf course, particularly after the construction of the N3 highway. The merged club was named as the Victoria Country Club in 1997 and it has continued to operate on the premises of the previous Maritzburg Country club. In 2008 the golf course underwent major changes as part of its integration with the residential estate.
