Golf Courses

Wide fairways, a series of lakes that separates the ninth with the finishing hole, the course covers more than 100 hectares and incorporates 28 000 square metres of water features.
Leopard Creek Golf Course
Leopard Creek has grown out of the vision of a banker and skills and expertise of one of the world’s great golfers. It is founded on the values of friendship, a common love of the game of golf and a shared reverence for nature. Innovative architectural and landscaping techniques ensure that the Leopard Creek golf course and living areas are naturally protected from animals, while lakes and small streams have been diverted through the development to create scenic vistas and interesting golf strategies. Situated near Malelane in the heart of Mpumalanga, Leopard Creek covers 360 hectares bordered to the north and west by the scenic Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park.
