Kruger National Park
The famous Kruger National Park, one of Africa's largest game reserves, stretches along the entire length of the Estate's eastern boundary. Greet the African dawn on the manicured fairways of our challenging 18 Hole, Par 72 Championship golf course, where crocodile and hippo add spice to the normal "hazards" of a good game of golf. Wild game including elephant, lion, giraffe and a wide variety of antelope and bird life are often seen on the golf course & in the surrounds. The legendary Bob Grimsdell designed this unique course, which extends over a vast area of indigenous bush, interspersed with tranquil pools and velvet greens.

The main Hotel itself with its large trees, water features and beautifully landscaped gardens, as well as the cool ambience of the traditional thatch, provides an oasis of leisure and elegance, the ultimate African dream. The Golf Clubhouse raised to overlook the 9th and 18th Holes offers a view unsurpassed. Sitting on the patio having a chilled refreshment is the perfect way to relax after an exciting day on the golf course. A host of other sporting facilities is on offer. Choose from an exhilarating game of tennis on one of our floodlit courts or speed up on the pace on one of our air-conditioned squash courts. Cool off in one of our sparkling swimming pools, after training in the gymnasium complete with sauna.

Polokwane Golf Club

Founded in 1863, the Polokwane Golf Club was virtually a desert. However, as the years progressed, so did the course, and it is now rated one of the best with 700 members and bent grass greens. The new club house was completed in 1996 and boasts an excellent halfway house, change rooms, braai area and function hall. The bar creates its own atmosphere, where once inside you just don’t want to go home. The club is very proud to have Retief Goosen, 2001 U.S. Open Champion as a previous club professional. Other notables include Callie Swart and veteran Ray Earle who have both achieved Springbok colours. If it's a round of golf or a relaxing drink around the pool or maybe even a Sunday braai you’r after, the Polokwane Golf Club caters for your every need.
