Marsa Sports Club

The Marsa Sports Club is a non-profit private club managed by a committee with the assistance of a permanent staff. Committee members work on a purely honorary basis. The various sports sections, are in turn controlled by their own honorary sub-committees. The golf club was founded in 1888. he United Services Sports Club, as it was then known, was inaugurated on 15th August 1901 to provide a permanent home for the Polo and Golf clubs and to serve as a recreational centre for the British Forces then stationed on the island. The club became civilian in 1971 and numerous changes have been made since then, perhaps the most significant of which was the grassing of the golf course. he club now provides facilities for no less than eight sports disciplines and boasts of a membership of over 2500, the majority of whom are Maltese citizens but including also a large number of expatriate members who have made Malta their home or are working here. The Club also welcomes several thousand visitors per year.
