Category Area News
This isn't your run-of-the-mill golf course. Houghton Golf Club is a signature Jack Nicklaus-designed course and a renowned event venue, lifestyle area and golf academy. The club focuses on providing members and visitors with a unique, memorable experience that can't be replicated elsewhere.
An all-inclusive golfing journey
Houghton Golf Club is a tribute to Johannesburg's rich heritage of exclusivity. The beautiful golf course has hosted eight South African Open events and many world-class champions have played here. The Alfred Dunhill Championship has also been hosted here. The course was initially conceptualised by A.M Copland who was the original architect in 1926. It was updated by the Jack Nicklaus design group and is now ahead of the curve when it comes to modern golf courses. Houghton Golf Club holds its own against the best courses in the country.
