Golf Digest South Africa says - 

Regular championship venue which has hosted two SA Amateurs, the most recent in 2009, it is a strong parkland test, which uniquely has a par 5 to open and close each of the nines. The club, in the suburbs of Benoni, is more than a century old, yet it started out as the Van Ryn GC, a mine course, before being converted to a private members’ course in 1951. The constantly upgraded layout, with all its trees, has a quiet and secluded feel to it.
