Since 1895, Groot Drakenstein Games Club has been the heart of sport and social life in the picturesque Groot Drakenstein Valley. Nestled between the majestic mountains of Paarl and Franschhoek, our club stands as a beacon of true South African sportsmanship and community spirit. Today, we're embarking on an exciting new chapter. Under new management by Franschhoek Sport & Social Club, we're transforming into a vibrant hub for everyone - whether you're here to play, work, socialize, or simply enjoy quality time in a heritage setting.
