Sun City – Gary Player Golf Course

This Gary Player designed golf course situated in the Northwest Province is in the 17th position of the top 100 courses in South Africa. It is perhaps South Africa’s most famous course thanks to the annual “Nedbank Golf Challenge tournament” which has been hosted here since 1981. Naturally the “Black Knight” course is one of the longest courses in the country, stretching out beyond 7,000 metres from the tips. It is rightfully considered one of the most prestigious golf courses on the African continent. Gary Player created the 18-hole, par-72 walking course of the Gary Player Country Club Golf Course, which also features a 5-kilometer running route. Some of the greatest golfers in the world compete in the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge, which is held there as part of the European Tour’s Race to Dubai.

According to the Top 100 ’The par fives at the Gary Player Country Club, which opened for play in 1979, are especially exciting, but the 9th will stick in the memory for eternity. This is a genuine three-shot-hole for most golfers but if you are a long hitter, you might be tempted to go for the island green in two. Take a deep breath, hold your nerve and swing smoothly. What a cracker!’’
