Greenside Colliery Golf Club

Overview: Greenside Colliery Golf Club is located at Blackhill in the Witbank/eMalahleni area of Mpumalanga. Current Hole19 mapping and the 18Birdies scorecard both present an 18-hole, par-72 layout, with the latter listing 6,910 yards from its men's tees. GolfRSA records a very similar 6,890-yard back-tee figure, which confirms the general scale while also showing why tee-specific distances should not be treated as universal. The course is presented as a scenic colliery-area layout with practice facilities and a clubhouse. Its appeal is the combination of a full rated round and a distinctly mining-region location within the Highveld.

History: The sources checked identify the club with Greenside Colliery and provide current scorecards, but they do not safely establish a founding year or designer. Rather than turn the colliery name into an invented origin story, this profile leaves those fields open. GolfRSA's rating record and the current mapped cards are the useful historical continuity available here: they show that the course has been part of organised golf and has retained an 18-hole rating footprint.

Did You Know? The 18Birdies card divides the course into two par-36 nines and totals 6,910 yards, while GolfRSA's published back-tee record is 6,890 yards. The small difference is a reminder that scorecards can reflect different rating or tee revisions rather than different courses.
