Introduction
The Gary Player Country Club is acknowledged as a difficult and demanding course. Since 1979 it has been home to the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge. The course requires stamina and accuracy from players. The comparatively flat nature of the golf course is misleading - water hazards, cunningly sited bunkers and pins hidden away on kidney shaped greens makes up for the lack of gradient. Off the back markers the course measures over 7 000 meters which makes it one of the longest in the world. But a variety of tees make it possible to shorten the course and render playable for all levels of golfers. A distinguishing feature of the course is its green's complexes, with strategically placed bunkers, swales and mounds that protect the super slick clover shaped greens. With pristine perfect kikuyu fairways and excellent bent grass greens the course is kept in perfect condition all year round. |

Golfers are astounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Lost City Golf course. The rich green fairways give a dramatic contrast to the bushveld backdrop and the barren waste bunkers are a special feature of this intriguing course The desert style design of the golf course has an exotic allure all of its own and designer, Gary Player, has acknowledged it as one of his favorite courses. The Lost City Golf Course is flexible: playing off the forward tee a course length of 5 953 meters, extending to 6 983 meters off the back tee. The course provides spectacular views. The most hazardous area of the Lost City Golf Course is the 13th hole. Inhabiting the water hazard are 38 crocodiles, some of them nearly two meters long. Golfers are discouraged from retrieving their wayward balls from the croc-infested pool. The unusual water hazard is just one of the features that make the Lost City Golf Course exciting and interesting to play. No effort was spared to make the course a masterpiece. On the whole a round at Lost City is an experience, which one will not easily forget. But it doesn't end with the golf |

Introduction
During in season (November-February) we may exclude Erinvale due to is popularity, as it maybe very difficult to obtain a booking. We will not rule it out completely but would like to make you aware of the circumstances. On this course are two different moods. The first nine holes are built on flat terrain with challenging holes made more difficult by strategic water hazards and an array of different style bunkers. These range from traditional large, well-shaped bunkers to some with railway sleepers holding up steep, sandy slopes. Sod bunkers that are challenging yet aesthetically pleasing complete the picture. The second nine holes are on endulately high ground. Here the scenic splendor might distract the players from the continuing challenge. Again, water and bunkers are the main features with the added test of sloping lies. |
