A golf holiday in South Africa would not be complete without a visit to the exciting Sun City Resort. As well as two top-quality golf courses, three great hotels, and a casino, the Sun City Resort is adjacent to the famous Pilansberg Game Reserve. A Malaria-free game reserve, “The Pilansberg” is home to the “Big 5” as well as an abundance of varied wildlife and wonderful scenery.

All of this can either be viewed from short (3/4 hour) game drives while residing at the Sun City Resort or from overnight stays at one of the numerous 4 and 5-star game lodges dotted around the Pilansberg reserve. Only a one-and-a-half-hour transfer from Johannesburg, the Sun City Resort and Pilansberg Game reserve give you the opportunity to play two of the continent’s best golf courses and enjoy a safari-style experience without the travel and expense involved when visiting the larger wildlife parks such as the Kruger, Masi Mara, etc where Malarial protection is a must.

South African golf is showcased at its best at Sun City. Golf courses near to Sun City include Leopard Creek and Glendower Golf Club, and they are some of the best golf courses in South Africa.

Ideal for a long holiday weekend away, leave London after work and be on the golf course the following afternoon. Sun City is perfectly suited for golf groups and societies with 2 challenging courses, vibrant nightlife, incredible accommodation, and a host of other tourist destinations all in one place. It can easily be integrated with a safari in one of the nearby game reserves or with a further visit to Cape Town.

Most will recognize The Gary Player Country Club Course from the PGA Tour. However, The Lost City course is just as dramatic, with big open fairways and a water hazard known to contain crocodiles! The simple 13th hole is over a water hole shaped like the African continent, but also with a bit of extra bite! The course isn’t as challenging as Gary Player Country Club but is every bit as entertaining.
