Royal Johannesburg: East

The golf course at Royal Johannesburg was designed by Robert Grimsdell in 1933, with the routing changed in 1939 to accommodate the clubhouse, and would undergo reconstruction in 1999 after merging with Kennsington Golf Club and again in 2017. The club exhibits a feeling of luxury from the moment you enter, highlighted by the stunning clubhouse and facilities. The club features pristine conditions, subtle undulations on fairways and greens, and challenging bunker placements off the tee. The front side is the easiest of the two nines with three scoreable par 5s, Nos. 1, 6 and 8. The back nine is a beautiful contrast to the front and begins with two par 4s over 500 yards including the famed dogleg right 11th, known to be one of the most challenging holes in the country. The course is located just 20 minutes outside of Johannesburg and is a premier golfing destination in South Africa.
