Randpark Golf Club – Firethorn Course, a masterpiece crafted by Sid Brews, has evolved beautifully over the years, maintaining its status as a premier golf destination. This evolution included a significant upgrade in 1990 when Golf Data and architect Mark Muller reimagined the greens complexes, while also re-aligning and extending various tees.
As a result, the championship tees now stretch to 7014 meters, positioning it among South Africa’s longest par 72 courses. This extension challenges even the most skilled golfers to master its demanding layout. With its strategic design and enduring appeal, the Firethorn Course continues to be a testament to thoughtful and progressive golf course architecture, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience for all who play it.
