Situated in Lower Houghton and surrounded by the leafy
suburb of Norwood, Houghton Golf Club has hosted the
South African Open eight times since 1951. The European
Tour used the venue for the Alfred Dunhill
Championship, and this is one of Johannesburg's
outstanding golf courses. At the present time the club is undergoing a
massive regeneration which involves the building of a Five Star
Hotel and the Nicklaus Design & Construction Team will upgrade
one of Joburg's finest courses. At lengths of 6542 metres from the championship tees, and a more friendly 6135 metres from the club tees, Houghton offers a tough but fair challenge to players of all levels. A mouthwatering selection of four par fives, ten par fours and four picturesque par threes await the discerning golfer who is fortunate enough to play this stunning championship layout. Perfectly manicured fairways, shaped by bands of kikuyu semi and fescue rough are framed by tall and majestic trees which make accuracy from the tee an absolute must if golfers are to safely navigate their way around this fine parkland golf course. Straight hitting will be rewarded with the chance to hit everything from fairway wood, long, medium and short irons into well guarded targets with water being a major factor on quite a few of these already challenging holes. Once there, the large, fast and undulating USGA Spec Bentgrass greens require good reading skills and an extremely smooth putting stroke. Always rated in the top ten courses of South Africa, Houghton is a great test of golf. Its comfortable clubhouse with excellent bar, restaurant and conference facilities, is serviced by a highly efficient and friendly staff. After your round feel free to enjoy long, cold sundowners in the clubhouse or on the outdoor patio which offers stunning views of the golf course. The idyllic, tranquil settings create the perfect ambience for a tough, challenging, but ultimately satisfying, nineteenth hole!
