Venue for the Joburg Open: January 10-13 2008; winner: Richard Sterne
The East Course has hosted 7 South African Open Championships, the SA Amateur and numerous other Tour events. Famously or infamously the 10th and 11th holes are reputed to be the two longest back-to-back par fours in the world.
The West Course which was improved with the Stream Rehabilitation Project in 2002, has sweeping fairways and generous sized greens but the player who strays from them will quickly find trees, water or other frustration in uncompromising abundance.
The 4th hole is regarded as the signature hole. A tributary of the Jukskei River fronts the green and is very much in play along the left hand side of the fairway.
