Orkney Golf Course, Scott Avenue,
Orkney, North West Province, South Africa: Sand from a nearby mine dump, which
was subsequently found to be high in gold content, was used in the reshaping and upgrading
of the greens.
The course is laid out on the banks of the Vaal River and is a good test with several
excellent water holes.
Facilities include a driving range, practice tee, new clubhouse, light snacks, dining
room. It is a flattish, well-maintained course with many beautiful trees.
Caddies are available at
most courses. Exceptions are on cart only estates and at certain golf and housing estates.
Golf Carts are limited on many of the courses and bookings are advised.
