The layout currently being used in this course Worcester Golf Club is a Peter Matkovich/GaryPlaymaker co-production which was created in the mid-80s. It's the only layout on which both architect have co-designed. The course is situated in a serene natural setting that was has described as "Karoo parksland" with its fairways that are green contrasted starkly in the dry shrubland that surrounds the course.

The holes featured include the stretch of golf that extends from the 5th par hole and the par eighteenth hole. The par 3 hole 7th is the most popular hole that is a diagonal course through the central dam that leads into an island green. Par fours that are shorter at the sixth and 12th are beautiful and so is the 9th, hole that is a par 3 and 18th, both of which feature the same enormous double green. It is located just in between the clubhouse's two levels.
