White River Country Club
White River Country Club in Mpumalanga was designed by Gary Player 25 years ago as a 9-hole course and later revamped to an exciting 18-hole layout. The course offers a great challenge to the amateur and professional golfer.
The 18 hole, 6061 metre par 71 golf course provides you with ample opportunity to test your skills while golfing in South Africa. With the White River flowing through the parkland golf course, interesting water features come into play at 9 holes.
Two of the par-fives, namely No 7 (490 m) and No 11 (488m) are comparable to Augusta National in their beauty, challenge and abundance of water.
- Par: 71
- Holes: 18
- Distance: 6061

Nelspruit Golf Club
This Mpumalanga golf course has undergone radical changes in recent time, but no one would argue that these alterations have not been improvements. For many years, this South Africa golf course was devoid of bunkers, but since Peter Matkovich was commissioned to revamp and modernize the course, bunkers have appeared, which strengthens the design.
The lowveld has wonderful fauna and flora, examples of which can be seen on the course, which has wisely kept any hint of exotic trees and shrubs from sullying the indigenous varieties. A marvellous range of holes makes up what is a demanding yet fair test and, after a strong start to the round; the course presents opportunities for scoring well.
The Palace of the Lost City
Gary Player designed this par 72 South African golf course, and he has often described this course to be one of his favourites.

The golf clubhouse offers state-of-the-art facilities along with a lounge that overlooks the 9th and 8th holes. In between challenging golfing matches, optional Big Five game drives to Pilanesberg National Park can be arranged.
