Johannesburg promises an unforgettable golfing experience in a unique atmosphere.

Houghton Golf Club

The Houghton Golf Club, opened in 1926, is one of the most famous golf courses in South Africa. The course was designed by the famous golf course architect Gary Player, who is internationally recognised for his designs. The course is famous for its picturesque landscape and challenging fairways. With bunkers, water hazards and manicured fairways, the course offers a challenging game. The clubhouse boasts elegant facilities that invite you to relax after a round of golf. Special events and tournaments make the club a lively meeting place for the golf scene.

Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club

The Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club is one of the most renowned golf courses in South Africa. It was opened in 1890 and offers two first-class 18-hole courses, the East Course and the West Course. The East Course, known for its challenging length, is one of the oldest and most impressive courses in the country and was redesigned by the internationally recognised golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. The West Course is considered slightly shorter, but is no less challenging and offers varied elements of play due to its strategic design. The entire club is surrounded by lush green areas and offers golfers of all levels a variety of challenges.

Glendower Golf Club

Glendower Golf Club, opened in 1937, is a renowned golf course in South Africa, known for its picturesque landscape and challenging layouts. Although the architect is not internationally renowned, the course is characterised by its challenging water hazards and well-placed bunkers. Of particular note are the lush, manicured fairways and greens lined with majestic trees, which not only add to the aesthetic beauty but also require strategic thinking.

Ebotse Golf & Country Estate

The Ebotse Links Golf Club, opened in 2008, is located about 30 minutes from Johannesburg in Benoni on the Vanrym Dam. Prominent golf course architect Peter Matkovich transformed a former mine site into an environmentally friendly links course. More than 2 million cubic metres of earth were moved to integrate old quarries and restore natural South African flora. This careful redesign has not only emphasised the scenic beauty, but has also created a home for indigenous species such as otters and springbok. The course, known as ‘Matkovich's little secret’, offers a tranquil, secluded atmosphere with an exciting and challenging design.

Observatory Golf Club

Der Atlantic Beach Golf Course liegt nur 700 Meter vom Strand in Melkbosstrand, Kapstadt entfernt und bietet spektakuläre Ausblicke auf den Atlantischen Ozean und den Tafelberg. Der Platz wurde von dem international angesehenen Golfarchitekten Mark Muller entworfen und im Juni 2000 eröffnet. Der 18-Loch-Küsten-Golfplatz verläuft durch sanft geschwungene Dünen, mit Fairways und Grüns, die von natürlichem, lokal vorkommendem Fynbos umrahmt werden. Der Platz bietet ganzjährig abwechslungsreiche Bedingungen, die sowohl Profis als auch Anfänger herausfordern.

Eye of Africa Golf & Residential Estate

The Eye of Africa Golf Course, opened in 2010, is located in the south of Johannesburg and is only 20 minutes away from Sandton. Designed by renowned golf architect Greg Norman, this championship course stretches across a mesmerising landscape of rolling hills and dense forests. The special beauty and tranquillity of Africa remains untouched here, making the golf course a peaceful retreat. The surrounding residences harmoniously complement the course and offer a luxurious lifestyle combined with first-class leisure facilities.

Randpark Golf Club

Randpark Golf Club, nestled in Johannesburg, South Africa, has been a respected symbol of recreational excellence since its opening in 1940. Designed by renowned architects, the club boasts two world-renowned 18-hole courses: the Firethorn and Bushwillow layouts, both celebrated for their meticulously manicured, tree-lined fairways. A special feature is the Klein Jukskei River, which meanders through the unspoilt landscape, enhancing its charm and providing a haven for abundant birdlife.

The course, which was opened in 1916, is not only one of the oldest in South Africa, but also offers beautiful views of the surrounding Johannesburg countryside. However, the famous golf course architect, who has achieved international fame, is not directly associated with this course. A particular challenge of the Parkview Golf Course are the narrow fairways and the strategically placed water hazards, which present both beginners and experienced golfers with interesting challenges.

Golf holidays in Johannesburg

Cultural heritage and history

Johannesburg, often referred to as ‘Jo'burg’ or ‘Jozi’, is the largest city in South Africa and a major cultural and economic centre. The city is deeply rooted in the country's history and was a key theatre in the struggle against apartheid. An absolute must for every visitor is the Apartheid Museum. This museum offers a moving and detailed account of the apartheid era and how this policy affected people's lives. Among the most impressive exhibits are photographs, films and reports that bring the horrors of this period to life. A visit here offers a deeper insight into South Africa's turbulent history and the struggle for freedom and equality.

Architecture and urban lifestyle

The city is known for its impressive skyline and modern architecture that coexists with historic buildings. Johannesburg's vibrant neighbourhoods, such as Maboneng and Braamfontein, are witnesses to a cultural renaissance. These areas offer a variety of galleries, theatres and creative spaces, making them a magnet for artists and culture lovers. The streets are lined with lively markets, trendy cafés and restaurants where visitors can experience the city's culinary diversity. From street food at the Neighbourgoods Market to high-end culinary experiences, there is something for every palate in Johannesburg.

Nature and leisure activities

Although Johannesburg is often perceived as an urban metropolis, the city surprises with numerous green oases. The Botanical Gardens and Johannesburg Zoo offer peace and relaxation in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. For a breathtaking view of the city and its surroundings, we recommend a trip to the Top of Africa in the Carlton Centre, the tallest building in Africa. A visit to Gold Reef City, a theme park in the southern part of the city, is also ideal for families and adventure seekers. Here, gold mining history is brought to life through rides and mine tours. If you decide to travel to Johannesburg, you will discover a city full of energy and diversity that will delight history buffs as well as culture and leisure enthusiasts.
