Benoni Lake Golf Course, Benoni,
Johannesburg: Lakefield Avenue, Benoni. One of the four large expanses of water
that form a chain through this East Rand municipality is known as Middle Lake, and it is
on the shores of this lake that Benoni Lake Club golf course is found.
A major road runs through the course, neatly separating the two nines on this 18-hole,
par-72 parkland layout. The outward loop is above the road with the back nine or
"Next-to-the-Lake" nine below it, next to the water. Because of the water's
proximity, Benoni Lake's closing stretch of holes from the 15th through to the 18th
provide a rather stern finish to a round.
The lake runs parallel to the par-five 15th, while at the 16th, a par-three, and the 17th,
a tough 419 metre par-four (depending on which tees are used), the golfer must tee off
over part of the water. Middle Lake is not in play at the par-four 18th, but a man-made
pond has been built to the left of the green and the approach here is definitely a
demanding one.
