The Ikoyi Club was established as a European club in 1938 in Ikoyi, Lagos.[1] It was originally converted from a prison to a rest house.[2] It occupies approximately 456 acres of land. In the subsequent years, the European Club merged with the Lagos Golf Club. Besides the golf course, Ikoyi Club also has many sports and relaxation amenities which provide first class facilities for members and their families.
Today, the club has grown from its exclusively European membership to modern day membership of diverse nationalities.[3] [4] Some of Nigeria's most aristocratic families are now members.The slogan of the club is Global Harmony Through Recreation.[5]
The present chairman of the club is Mr. Mumuney Ademola.[6]
