Golf Courses

• When construction of the Sun City Resort began in 1978, the decision was taken to build a golf course that would rival the best in the world. South Africa’s most successful professional Gary Player, was an obvious choice to route the course in what is the crater of an extinct volcano. Today, the Gary Player Country Club is deservedly ranked as the number one South African golf course. Both the inward and outward loops are perfectly balanced, with every club in the bag being tested along the way.
• Some ten years after the completion of the Gary Player Country Club, the popularity of the Sun City Resort and its many attractions demanded that another golf course be built. Just a two-minute ride by shuttle bus from the Gary Player Country Club, you can now find the imposing Palace of the Lost City. In its shadow lies the legendary golf course. The course defies being bracketed into any particular genre – having touches of mountain, desert and even a brand of African parkland in its makeup.
• Rustenburg Golf Club is a modern golf course with old fashion values. The course has been ranked consistently in the Top 100 courses in South Africa for the last 5 years. People seem to be pleasantly surprised by the splendid condition of the course regardless of where they come from.
