Golf Courses
Sun City – Gary Player Golf Course
When the construction of the Sun City Resort began in 1978, the decision was taken to build a golf course that would challenge the best in the world. Today, in spite of stiff competition, the Gary Player Country Club is deservedly ranked as one of the most prestigious golf courses on the African continent.
Sun City – Lost City Golf Course
The Lost City Golf Course with rolling and rocky terrain has an 18-hole desert-style golf course that is surrounded by spectacular views across the bushveld. 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.
Fancourt – Montagu Golf Course
Fancourt’s Montagu Golf Course, originally designed by Gary Player, has earned a world-class reputation as one of the best 18-hole parkland layouts. It holds the prestigious 8th position on South Africa's Top 100 Courses list of top golf courses in the country.
Fancourt – Outeniqua Golf Course
Ranked 18th by South Africa's Top 100 Courses' experts, Fancourt’s Outeniqua golf course offers a leisurely and entertaining golfing experience. It provides a more forgiving terrain than its counterpart, the Montagu, but offers its fair share of challenges to keep golfers interested.
Fancourt – Links
This is currently South Africa’s number one golf course. Exclusivity and privacy, and Fancourt’s signature hospitality, is guaranteed. It also ranks 56th in Golf Digest US edition’s list of the world’s 100 greatest golf courses that compared 464 courses from 18 countries around the globe.
