In 1964 the club purchased land with the intention
of establishing an additional 18-hole golf course.
Sid Brews designed the ‘Randpark’
championship course and the imposing clubhouse serving both courses
was opened on 20th March 1971.
The course has matured over the years and has
undergone a number of improvements. In 1990, the greens complexes
were completely redesigned by Messrs. Golf Data and architect Mark
Muller.
A number of tees were re-aligned and extended,
resulting in the championship tees now measuring a total of 7050
metres(second longest golf course in South Africa), with a Par of
72.
The surface of the tees, fairways and semi-rough
is Kikuyu grass with Bentgrass (pennlinks) on the greens.
The course carries a high rating and has hosted
several high profile tournaments over the years – both men’s
and women’s. Our amateur golfing bodies have also used the
course as a worthy golfing examination. Most significantly, it has
been chosen as a venue for two South African Open Championships
in 1995 and 2000.
Let its challenge escape you no longer –
play it, it will please you enormously.
