Hole 1

From The Tee From an elevated tee, there are fine views of this beautiful hole spread out before you, with the Fairview Hotel out to your right. The drive must carry the river which is about 100m distant from the men’s club tees. Strategically placed fairway bunk

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Yet another Randpark dog-leg, this one bending right to left. The bunkers, both fairway and greenside, are an issue here and confident, well-thought-out striking is required to avoid these hazards. The entrance to the green is on the right and if you

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A straightforward, downhill hole appealing to the grip-it-and-rip-it in all of us. The fairway bunker on the left is not a place to be but a good drive down the fairway invites you to have a go and get as close to the green as possible, and if you’re

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Firethorn has plenty of big greens and this is one of them. A huge bunker short and left is not a nice place to be as to get up and down from there is challenging to say the least. The entrance to the green is on the right, and for many, the best rou

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway One of the seven brand new holes on the revamped Randpark, this has a US PGA Tour look about it. It’s a feast for the eye as you stand on the tee. The fairway slopes down from right to left, so aim just far enough right to avoid the fairway bunkers.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A dramatic hole, which curves both ways in direct relation to the river on the right which is very much in play from tee to green. For the drive, the landing area for the shorter hitter is generous but becomes narrower for the “bombers”. Par here is

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Once more, you need to have your wits about you as the river is ominously close. Leak your tee-shot out to the right and, almost without exception, you’re in the dreaded drink. When the pin is back right, just metres from the water, the sensible pla

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Short and sweet if you can avoid the fairway bunkers or the cluster of traps surrounding the green. A straight drive to a wide fairway, a well-struck second and a par or one-putt birdie are in the offering. Some of the outrageously long “young guns”

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A long (especially off the back markers) left-to-right dog-leg and a difficult, tree-lined start to the back nine. The drive is over the river with fairway bunkers in play in the landing area. The second shot for most players is a long one to a well-

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee With clean shotmaking, par is always on the cards here even for the higher handicap player. The fairway is quite wide, although a strategically placed bunker in the middle of the fairway about 50m short of the green can be a problematic obstacle.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee traight and easy on the eye and because it’s downhill it plays a little shorter than its yardage. Not too much trouble here and therefore a good scoring opportunity. Humps and hollows on the putting surface, though.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A no-go rocky outcrop covered in dense foliage about 200m from the tee-box on the right must be avoided like the plague as it’s definitely lost-ball territory. Staying on the fairway all the way to the green is key here to set up a satisfying par alt

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee The green front to back is extremely long and full of slope. So if you under-club or over-club you could be struggling to avoid a three-putt. A safety-first tee shot hit a little short and a little left invariably will see you ball kick onto the putt
