"If you want a local sports club atmosphere with great facilities and beautiful golf this is the place you feel instantly welcomed like a local no matter where you are from. This is not the best golf course in Johannesburg but it is the best golf club. The course is really good well run and well organised and in a great location. It’s my favourite place in Johannesburg to spend a day"

"My first time playing this course. It was really fun and difficult at times. The members were friendly and patient with my group and the staff were quite helpful. Great club to visit if you're in the area. Oh, and remember, most of the greens break towards the stadium in the background. Handy tip if your short game needs some help, like mine."
