Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club- West

The West Course at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club offers a golfing experience that is beautifully distinct from its championship sibling, the East Course. While the East is known for its demanding design and storied tournament history, the West Course delivers a more relaxed, player friendly round without sacrificing beauty or quality.

Set across gently rolling parkland, the West Course features wider fairways, softer angles off the tee and a layout that rewards strategic shot selection rather than pure power. Mature trees, natural water channels and sculpted bunkers frame each hole, creating a peaceful and scenic atmosphere that appeals to golfers of all levels. It is the perfect course for players who want a balanced challenge with more scoring opportunities and less pressure.

What truly sets the West Course apart is its playable rhythm. The routing flows smoothly, the greens are approachable, and the course maintains exceptional conditioning throughout the year. Golfers enjoy a calmer, more forgiving test here compared to the East Course, making it ideal for social golf days, casual rounds, and mixed ability groups.

Located just minutes from central Johannesburg, the West Course offers all the elegance and attention to detail the club is known for, combined with a friendlier, more enjoyable layout. Whether you are warming up before taking on the East or simply looking for a beautiful and relaxing golf experience, the West Course is a standout option that guarantees an enjoyable day on the fairways.
