PAR 72, 3 Rounds
The East Course is a championship layout that has hosted 7 South African Open Championships, the SA Amateur and numerous other Tour events. Played off the Championship tees it measures 6846 meters, and a more user friendly 6382 meters off the Club tees. Famously or infamously the 10th and 11th holes are reputed to be the two longest back-to-back par fours in the world.
The East course was designed in 1935 by the then Club Professional Robert Grimsdell (whose other famous designs are Sishen, Hans Merensky, Durban Country Club, River Club, Wanderers, Royal Durban, Killarney, Goldfields West, Clovelly and Pretoria Country Club). The course was revamped in 1998 by golf course architect Mark Muller. Certain holes were altered but mostly it was the greens that, while keeping their original feel, were vastly improved.The course has since been further improved with the Stream Rehabilitation Project, wich was undertaken in 2002 to a restly erosion of the stream beds and reinforce the banks of the spectacular water course runner from west to east through the property.
The signature hole of the East Course is the 11th. The hole is telescoped by huge poplars that make the lower holes on the East Course so spectacular. A tee complex of 5 tees changes both the angle of attack and the length (from a monstrous 457 meters to a relatively tame 382 meters). The second shot is a challenging mid iron across water.
