Royal Johannesburg

Royal Johannesburg, located in Johannesburg, is one of South Africa’s most prestigious golfing destinations, offering two distinct 18‑hole parkland courses. The East Championship Course, originally designed by Robert Grimsdell in 1939 and revamped in 2017, is widely regarded as one of the continent’s finest, earning accolades such as South Africa’s Best Golf Course and Africa’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards. Measuring 7,001 metres, it features kikuyu fairways and bent‑grass greens, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience. The West Course, designed in 1927, is shorter at 6,225 metres but equally enjoyable, with sweeping fairways and generous greens that still demand precision. Facilities include a driving range and golf academy led by PGA professionals, a Pro Shop offering premium apparel and equipment, and a clubhouse with dining and event spaces.
