Golf Monthly is the market leading golfing magazine in the UK. It's a lively and welcoming read that is targeted at good golfers who are regular players - and keen to get even better.
With over 100 years of heritage and authority behind it, it represents the real 'voice of golf' with leading columnists, top players and unrivalled coverage of equipment and instruction.
The European Tour stays in South Africa but moves to Johannesburg for the Joburg Open, which moved to Houghton Golf Club in November 2022.
Houghton Golf Club was established back in 1926 and considered one of the best parkland courses in the Johannesburg area. The South African Open has been held here eight times between 1951 and 1992 and it has also hosted the Alfred Dunhill Tournament between 1996 and 2004.
Houghton sold the property and the Jack Nicklaus design group were commissioned to modernise the course and its facilities. The design is now a completely new golfing experience for those who have played the original layout – notwithstanding one or two holes that have been altered on the old course, everything else has undergone a complete transformation.
The course re-opened for play in 2009 and now weighs in at 7,279 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 72, with holes laid out as two returning nines. The course is now not as spacious as it used to be, but they have made up for the lack of space and sometimes distance in the most part by heavily guarding the greens and fairways with deep soft bunkers, thick rough and selective undulations.
The parkland layout is dotted with ponds and dams and is situated adjacent to the greenbelt of The Wilds. The site is a perfect extension to Johannesburg’s natural fauna and flora and is a proclaimed bird sanctuary with Egyptian geese, guinea fowl, dikkops, plovers and a variety of waterfowl in being present.
