Randpark Golf Club - Firethorn Course

South Africa, Gauteng, Johannesburg
Designer: Mark Muller
Course Opened: 1971

From the club's web site.

In 1964 the club purchased land with the intention of establishing an additional 18-hole golf course.

Sid Brews designed the ‘Randpark’ championship course and the imposing clubhouse serving both courses was opened on 20th March 1971.

The course has matured over the years and has undergone a number of improvements. In 1990, the greens complexes were completely redesigned by Golf Data and architect Mark Muller.

A number of tees were re-aligned and extended, resulting in the championship tees now measuring a total of 7050 metres(second longest golf course in South Africa), with a Par of 72.

The surface of the tees, fairways and semi-rough is Kikuyu grass with Bentgrass (pennlinks) on the greens.

The course carries a high rating and has hosted several high profile tournaments over the years – both men’s and women’s. Our amateur golfing bodies have also used the course as a worthy golfing examination. Most significantly, it has been chosen as a venue for two South African Open Championships in 1995 and 2000.
