Course Description
Centrally situated in Johannesburg’s wealthy suburb, the Houghton course has hosted no fewer than eight South African Opens since the Second World War. In recent years, the par-72 layout has been extensively upgraded by Peter Matkovitch, Gary Player and Dale Hayes. At 6, 315 metres, Houghton is not an overly long course by highveld standards, as the ball flies a long way in Johannesburg’s rarefied atmosphere. But short does not always translate into easy, and some exciting tee shots and approaches are required if you are attempting to master the holes. Houghton is known for its superb conditioning and a wealth of wonderful par-four holes.
