Bryanston Country Club's golf course is an 18-hole parkland layout in Johannesburg with a documented history extending to the development of Bryanston township. Land was set aside for a golf course in 1940, and the emerging country club commissioned British architect Charles Hugh Alison in 1949. Construction was led by Tommy Tomsett and Koos de Beer, with the first nine holes and clubhouse opening in 1951.
The current course plays to par 72 and the club publishes a total length of 6,768 metres. Water comes into play on 11 holes. The club publishes hole-by-hole par, distance and stroke index for its principal course configuration.

The roots of the course go back to 1940, when 301 acres were reserved for golf in the developing Bryanston township. Discussions led by Hedding, Allridge and Bentwich in 1943 expanded the idea from a golf course into a full country club. An official committee was operating by 1948, and Charles Hugh Alison was commissioned to design the golf course in 1949.
Construction was undertaken over the following two years, with Tommy Tomsett and Koos de Beer involved in delivering Alison's design. The clubhouse and first nine holes opened in 1951, with Sir Ernest Oppenheimer serving as the club's first president. The clubhouse was lost to fire in 1953 and subsequently rebuilt.
Bryanston remains an 18-hole par-72 parkland course and a broader country club. The golf course measures 6,768 metres in the configuration published by the club and incorporates water on 11 holes.
