Sun City - the first stop on our Golf Experience Tour

Sun City golf course

One of Africa’s premier vacation destinations, Sun City in South Africa is internationally recognized for its superb resort offering of hotels, attractions and world-class events. From the lavish opulence of The Palace of the Lost City to the casual elegance of the Cascades, the glamour of the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge to the tropical thrills of the Valley of Waves, Sun City delivers plenty to see and do in a beautiful malaria-free landscape.

Sun City resort is one of South Africa's premier golfing destinations. It is home to two 18-hole, par 72 golf courses designed by South African legend Gary Player: the Lost City Golf Course and the Gary Player Golf Course, both of which have been designed to maximize the challenge for every handicap of golfer.

The Gary Player Country Club course, designed by golfing legend Gary Player, is an 18-hole, par 72 walking course that has been cleverly designed with imaginatively placed bunkers and multiple tees to give both novice and skilled golfers a satisfying round. The kikuyu fairways and bent-grass greens offer a near-perfect playing surface. It is also home to the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge, with a first prize of $2-million, and has hosted some of the biggest names in golf.

The elegant Club provides a social hub for players and spectators alike. Its restaurant overlooks the rolling greens, the pro shop is stocked with golfing must-haves, and one floor is dedicated to the modern gym and luxurious spa. A pleasant 5km (about three miles) running trail stretches alongside the course.

The Lost City Course, also designed by Gary Player, is an impressive 18-hole, par 72 cart course. The course covers more than 100 hectares with various themes, from desert to mountains and parkland. It incorporates an impressive 28 000m² (about 92 000ft²) of water features, with perhaps its most famous feature being the water hazard on the 13th hole, which is home to Nile crocodiles!

Our golf experience tour gives you enough time and opportunity to experience the resort and play both courses. And with nearby safaris just a short drive away, it’s the best start to this amazing Golf Experience.

It's time to start planning.  Yes, we can all see the end of the pandemic just around the corner.  We've come through a really trying period and the one thing we've all learned is to live for the moment.  Never in our wildest dreams did we see this coming, so it is time to get back onto that horse and start riding again - very soon.

A trip like this requires planning, and planning takes time.  Whether it's to celebrate a special ocassion or just to get away and have a fun-filled holiday, gather your family and friends and take off.  Our small group (8 - 16 people) plans cater to both golfers and non-golfers, so everyone is welcome.  The sights, the smells, the tastes, the views, and the unique experiences will be treasured for life.  You will not have experienced this before and, unless you return again (we hope!), you won't experience it again.
