Houghton Golf Club

Steeped in tradition, Houghton Golf Club is one of South Africa’s premier golfing venues. The course has a proud history as a championship facility having hosted no fewer than eight SA Open events, the first of which took place in 1951.

The parkland layout is dotted with ponds and dams, an abundance of flowering shrubs also provide great variety and colour. Situated adjacent to the greenbelt of The Wilds the site is a perfect extension to Johannesburg’s natural fauna and flora and is a proclaimed bird sanctuary with Egyptian geese, guinea fowl, dikkops, plovers and a variety of waterfowl in being present.

The new greens have been contoured with rolling undulations and subtle slopes to protect the integrity of the course. In order to defend the golf course from the longer hitters, strategically positioned bunkers have been used extensively to catch the wayward drive, thus making club selection essential.
