Royal Johannesburg East & West Golf Courses
Among the most prestigious Johannesburg golf courses in South Africa, Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club stands as a true icon of the country’s golfing heritage. Located just a short distance from the city centre, this historic club offers two exceptional championship layouts — the renowned East Course and the equally enjoyable West Course.
The East Course is internationally celebrated and consistently ranked among the finest courses in the country. It has proudly hosted multiple editions of the Joburg Open, attracting many of the world’s leading professional golfers. Immaculately maintained fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and fast, true greens provide a rewarding challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
The West Course complements the East beautifully. Slightly more forgiving yet still demanding thoughtful shot-making, it offers a superb round in its own right. Lush tree-lined fairways and pristine conditioning make it one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf in Johannesburg.
Together, these two outstanding layouts make Royal Johannesburg & Kensington a must-play destination for golfers exploring the vibrant golfing landscape of Gauteng. For visitors travelling through South Africa, the club provides an ideal combination of championship golf, rich tradition, and world-class facilities.
