Roodepoort Golf Course, Ruimsig,
Roodepoort, Johannesburg: Nestling in the tranquil countryside of Ruimsig, west
of Johannesburg, lies one of South Africa's most challenging championship golf courses,
Roodepoort Country Club.
It is well known and recognised that condition-wise the Roodepoort Golf course is
consistently among the top 10 in South
Africa. The rolling bent grass greens are spectacular and similar to those that the
world's top professionals encounter on the United States Tour. There are 72 bunkers to
contend with and seven water hazards offering all handicap golfers a challenge yet the
good golf shot will always be rewarded.
Roodepoort Country Club was designed by Gary Player and Ron Kirby and is renowned for it's
large, undulating Bent grass greens with subtle slopes. It is a well bunkered, inland
links course with well defined fairways - a great test of golfing ability for both high
and low handicap golfers.
Signature Hole: One of the better holes on the course. Your drive is
semi-blind played to a generous, plateaued fairway. The approach is played downhill to a
severely sloping green from back to front.
