Benoni Lake Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge at Benoni Lake Club, and how does the lake factor into play?

The lake is definitely the star here, and it's not just for show. You'll find it comes into play on several holes, particularly on the back nine, demanding precise shot-making to avoid a watery grave. Don't let the scenic views distract you from the strategic lines you need to take.

When is the ideal time of year to play Benoni Lake Club for the best course conditions?

We recommend visiting during South Africa's spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May). The weather is generally mild and pleasant then, and the course is typically in fantastic shape, offering lush fairways and true-rolling greens without the intense summer heat or winter chill.

How do the green fees at Benoni Lake Club compare to other courses in the Gauteng area, and is it good value?

Benoni Lake Club offers excellent value for money, especially when you consider the quality of the layout and its consistent conditioning. You'll find the green fees are very reasonable compared to some of the more high-profile courses in Gauteng, making it a smart choice for a great round without breaking the bank.

Are there any signature holes or particularly memorable stretches at Benoni Lake Club that I should look out for?

Absolutely, the stretch around the lake on the back nine is truly memorable. The par-3 14th, playing over water to a well-guarded green, is a real test of nerve and precision. You'll also love the finishing holes, which demand strategic thinking right up to the 18th green.

What's the vibe like at the Benoni Lake Club clubhouse after a round, and what can I expect?
