DAY 2
BREAKFAST * GOLF - GARY PLAYER COUNTRY CLUB * OVERNIGHT AT THE PALACE
After breakfast at the hotel, you will play where the greats of Golf have tested their skills at the Gary Player Country Club - "host to the annual Million Dollar Challenge". Situated in the Pilanesberg and forming part of the magnificent Sun City Complex this course is one of the most demanding in the country. It achieved world fame and drawing names such as Faldo, Woosnam and Ballesteros. This course, designed by Gary Player tests every part of a golfer's game. All the putting surfaces are tricky and the bunkers are well placed next to the greens. Water plays a major part at the 9th and 18th holes. The 14th green is completely surrounded by sand and the pampas grass should be avoided at all times. Rest of the day at leisure.
DAY 3
BREAKFAST * GOLF - LOST CITY COURSE * RETURN TO JOHANNESBURG
After breakfast we tee off at the Lost City Course. This course is superb to play on and in a style suitable to the rugged terrain of the Pilanesberg Mountains. Visually, the course appears easy but narrow fairways and greens sort the professionals from the Sunday players. The 13th hole boasts a water feature including live crocodiles. The sequence, length and the character of the holes are widely varied. On the back nine, there are only two consecutive par-fours. The 8th is a very short par-three; the 9th is also a par-three but much longer. Each hole has a character of its own, regardless of length. After the round of golf we make our way back to Johannesburg at the end of a memorable journey.
INCLUDED IN PRICE
- 2 games of golf including golf cart/caddie;
- Ground transport - by luxury air-conditioned mini-busses;
- Breakfasts;
- Game viewing
- 2 nights' per person sharing accommodation in The Palace
