Golf Day Information 2016

Transcription

1 Golf Day Information 2016 Conveniently located just off the M1 highway, and in close proximity to the Sandton and Johannesburg CBDs, Killarney Country Club is a premier location for corporate golf days.

2 the course The best way to describe the characteristics of the Killarney Country Club golf course would be that it is a narrow park-style course with a premium on driving accuracy. It is a Robert Trent-Jones design and is a challenging and well manicured par 70 layout of 6154m for men and a par 72 for the ladies playing at 5294m. The greens are fairly generous in size which gives you a good chance of scoring well when playing from the fairways. However, miss a fairway and you can almost be sure of having to play a recovery shot from amongst the trees.
