Description
Situated in the western suburbs of Johannesburg, the Randpark Golf Club boasts the largest membership in South Africa. The club consists of two courses: Randpark Golf Club and Windsor Golf Club. The Windsor Golf club, which has existed since 1941, became the Randpark Golf Club when the land adjoining it to the north was acquired and another 18-hole course was developed on it. The new Randpark course and Randpark Clubhouse were opened in 1971. The club has hosted the SA Open on two occasions.
The massive clubhouse that caters for both courses is well equipped with three function facilities, a boardroom, two halfway houses and five bars, as well as an excellent pro shop.
Playing the Course
Both courses are similar since they are in close proximity to each other. The well-wooded parklands design contains a mix of kikuyu fairways and bents greens. Both courses are well maintained with plenty of sand traps and water hazards.
The Randpark golf course, the club’s flagship course, is a championship course that has many challenging holes passing through undulating terrain. Most of the greens are raised and require high lofted pitches so that the ball sticks on these lightning putting surfaces. Large bunkers found around the greens will punish inaccurate approach shots.
Randpark golf course mixes it up and is a great test for both the club golfer and pro alike. Long hitters will be able to reach the par-four 3rd in two; at 403m this hole doglegs right while bordering the perimeter fence. Another interesting hole is the closing par-three 17th stroke 8. At 190m this is a short hole to say the least. This hole requires pinpoint accuracy playing downhill over water to a raised green surrounded by bunkers. This hole makes the bunkers the safest place to be.
