With more than 25 new courses in the last ten years designed by internationally acclaimed architects such as Jack Nicklaus, South Africa has earned its place amongst the best as a golfing destination. From the pioneering professionalism of Bobby Locke to the “ Big Easy” of today Ernie Els, this country has produced many great golfers over the years. South Africa plays host to many international fixtures from the 1996 World Cup at Erinvale to the President’s Cup at the Links Fancourt, as well as the annual fixtures of the Nedbank Two Million at the Gary Player Country Club Sun City and the South African Open, part of the European tour. Let your adventure begin…..From the Links at Fancourt with its undulating dune-style terrain to Pezula which weaves its way through indigenous forest and flora at the beautiful Knysna Heads overlooking the Indian Ocean. Move up the east coast to Durban and travel back in time to experience the colonial ambience and traditions of the Durban Country Club rated no 2 in the country. Durban provides great golf all year round, but the cooler less windy months of their winter are arguably the best. Continue inland to discover real diversity by playing Leopard’s Creek, often referred to as ‘Golf in the Wild’. Literally only a lion’s roar from the world-renowned Kruger National Park, its reputation has quickly been established with a challenging 18-hole championship course in the middle of ‘Big Five’ game country - where lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino are all viewable from the course itself. Onwards to the famed Sun City resort, home to the annual Two Million Dollar Challenge at the Gary Player Country Club course, number 1 in South Africa and also one of the world’s leading courses. With world-class hotels, a casino, and a host of leisure and sporting facilities, set in the heart of the Pilansberg bushveld, this resort is a must for many on their holiday.
