This rather flat course deceptively requires stamina and accuracy from players -water hazards, cunningly placed bunkers and hidden away pins make up for the lack of gradient.
The slick clover shaped greens are well protected by strategically placed bunkers, swales and mounds.
The par-five ninth, with its island green, never fails to get the adrenalin going.
Multiple tees however make this course both enjoyable and playable for players of all levels.
Since 1981 it has been home to the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge.
