Observatory Golf Club
Johannesburg, South Africa
An 18-hole golf course in Johannesburg, South Africa. Check out the scorecard, tees, course rating, and read user reviews below.

Description
The layout of the course has changed somewhat in this time. The course is not that long, but with narrow fairways and smallish greens, is a true test of intellectual golf. Observatory Golf Club boasts a history rich in character. Bobby Locke, one of South Africa's greatest golfers, won the Open Championship four times playing out of Observatory as his home club and the "Bobby Locke Corner" in the bar shows a picture history of this. Further the Henning brothers learnt to play their golf at Observatory.
