Kempton Park Country Club

Kempton Park Country Club sits in the industrial and residential area of Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg in Gauteng province. The course was designed by Grimsdell and Kerr, a partnership that contributed to several South African layouts during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The routing occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the Highveld, where elevation sits above 1,500 meters and the climate offers year-round golf with warm summers and mild, dry winters. The layout reflects the practical design sensibilities of its era, with tree-lined fairways and water features that add strategic interest to what would otherwise be open parkland terrain. Mature vegetation has matured over the decades to frame holes and define playing corridors. The course serves a local membership drawn from the surrounding communities and the nearby O.R. Tambo International Airport corridor, making it accessible for both residents and travelers. Kempton Park operates as a traditional members' club with social and dining facilities that support regular club competitions and weekend play. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without severe topographical challenges, rewarding accurate ball-striking and course management. Its location within the greater Johannesburg metropolitan area positions it among numerous parkland courses that serve Gauteng's substantial golfing population, offering a familiar style of play common to the region's established clubs.
