Skukuza Golf Course
“One of the most unique 9-hole golf courses in the world”
The Skukuza Golf Course is a magnificent 9-hole (18-tee) course situated in the world-renowned Kruger National Park on the outskirts of Skukuza Rest Camp. The golf course was originally built in 1972 as a recreational facility for the Kruger National Park personnel, but has now been opened to visitors to the Kruger National Park for the first time. The rich wildlife sanctuary surrounding the golf course is home to the Big Five, a huge variety of birds and countless animals, which all conspire to provide the visitor with a harmonious close-to nature golfing experience.
The course is a Par 72, and is 5 831 m (6 450 yards) for men and 4 950 m (5 480 yards) for women. Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight; hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few. The course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure. The Skukuza Golf Course has no bunkers, although ‘aerial bunkers’ abound because of the many trees found on the course.
Kambaku Golf Course
The Kambaku Golf Course situated in Komatipoort Mpumalanga is a 9 hole course set (18 tees) in the wildest corner of South Africa. At the confluence of the Crocodile and Komati Rivers along the foothills of the Lebombo mountain range. Ideally situated close to the Kruger National Park nestles a unique gem of a golf course that will challenge each and every level of Golfer. With the breath taking Lebombo Mountains as backdrop, you can retreat to the Bushveld, let your dreams take flight and enjoy a slice of heaven…
With its dramatic river frontage Kambaku golf course is the ideal golfing destination whilst visiting the Kruger Park on safari.
Elephant, buffalo and hippopotamus are often seen in the river during the course of play. If you are keen on “birdies” take binoculars with your clubs. Birdlife is prolific and the resident kingfishers, fish eagles and variety of bee-eaters to mention a few, make bird watching a must. Some time back a resident impala was taken by a leopard on the second green. This does not happen too often but adds to the uniqueness of this little-known golf course.
