Royal J&K (West)
However the club and its management pride themselves
on always looking to ‘be better’, so the facility continues
to evolve.
This included the revamp of the original Grimsdell layout
in 1998 by Mark Mueller, to the planned refurbishment of
the West Course in 2020.
Perhaps the most telling indication of a club that is
capable of evolving is in its ability to adapt.
Above all R&K is a beacon of service excellence and prides
itself on both the quality of its facilities and its services.
As the club’s moniker ‘The Royal Experience’ underlines,
great efforts are made to afford a warm welcome to every
visitor to the club and amplified by its management team’s
determination to treat every member and guest as part of
its Royal family.

In Royal’s case this could not be better demonstrated
than by the virtually seamless merge with the former
Kensington Golf Club, which amalgamated in 1998 with
Royal to form what is now the Royal Johannesburg &
Kensington Golf Club or ‘R&K’ as it is affectionately known.
Known as the Home of Golf SA, R&K continues to play a
central role in terms of golf with the Professional Golfers
Association of South Africa, the Gauteng Seniors and the
Club Managers’ Association all having their bases at the
club.
