Lost City Golf Course and other Sun City, South Africa Sports Travel Tips

Theme: Golfing

I've been lucky enough to play this course before, and suprisingly i didn't do to badly (for an amateur). Featuring the famous 13th hole, over the crocodile pit, this course is kept in pristine condition (as is to be expected of a world class course). the price is about R500 if i remember correctly, and that includes a buggy.

Equipment: Obviously, dress smart... i think they do have clubs for hire, but it ain't gonna be cheap!

The Gary Player Golf Course at Sun City is generally rated in the top 5 in the country - When i was lucky enough to have a round on it, it was THE no.1 course in South Africa, and it's obvious why. The course is always in pristine condition, and it is very challenging, but not impossible. I shot 101 over 18 holes, which i think is fantastic (it included a birdie, too!)

The only reason the course didn't get the better of us, to be honest, was the experience of the caddies we hired - at a cost of R120, worth every penny!

Equipment: We had our own clubs, and obviously only proper golf attire is permitted - no jeans! I do believe they have clubs for hire, and hiring a caddie is optional, though highly recommended! No golf carts are allowed ont he course either, ony walking.
