GLENDOWER GOLF
JOHANNESBURG · THE HIGHVELD
A Charles Alison parkland course, laid out in 1937 among the old tree plantations east of Johannesburg — water on eleven of its holes, mature trees on all eighteen.Proclaimed a nature reserve in 1973, every hole named for a bird found on the grounds.
GLENDOWER
A championship course that is also a sanctuary.
One of the few South African courses laid out by Charles Alison, a partner of Harry Colt's. Host of the South African Open eight times — more than any other club in Gauteng — five of them between 2013 and 2018.
Kikuyu fairways framed by old trees, brilliant white bunkers, and bent-grass greens rebuilt to championship standard. Water finds its way into eleven of the eighteen holes. The long par-four tenth, played across a lake to a guarded green, is the one you carry home.
A proclaimed nature reserve since 1973, its emblem a blue crane, every hole named for a bird you'll hear before you see it. Long a fixture in the country's top ten. The kind of course that asks for your best golf and hands you a morning you didn't expect.
