The Alfred Dunhill Championship will return to its historical roots in Johannesburg when it is played at the venerable Royal Johannesburg Golf Club from 11-14 December 2025.
The Sunshine Tour and organisers of the Alfred Dunhill Championship announced the decision, for this year only, to bring the championship back to the city where it was first played from 2000 to 2004 before moving to its traditional home of Leopard Creek.
According to the Sunshine Tour, the hosting of the Alfred Dunhill Championship as well as the prestigious R&A Africa Amateur Championship in a short space of time over the intensely hot summer months placed the Leopard Creek course under stress, and it requires a period of recovery.
“We’re delighted to be bringing the Alfred Dunhill Championship back to Johannesburg where it was played for the first five years of its existence, and are extremely grateful to Royal Johannesburg Golf Club for the opportunity,” said Thomas Abt, Commissioner of the Sunshine Tour.
“Royal Johannesburg Golf Club’s East Championship Course is internationally renowned as a true championship venue and among the finest courses in Africa, and we look forward to showcasing the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Championship on such a challenging layout.”
