The desert style design of this golf course in Sun City Resort has an exotic allure all of its own and designer, Gary Player has acknowledged it as one of his favourite golf courses.
The most hazardous area of the Lost City Golf Course is the 13th hole. Inhabiting the water hazard are 38 Crocodile, some of them nearly 2 metres long. Golfers are discouraged from retrieving their wayward balls from the Crocodile infested pool.
The unusual water hazard is just one of the features that make the Lost City Golf Course exciting and interesting to play. No effort was spared to make this Sun City golf course a masterpiece.
Playing the back 9 is like going on a golf safari. It has often been noted that the game is more exciting when played downhill and this is certainly the case here. In addition to the previously mentioned 13th, holes 11, 14, 15 and 16 are all played from elevated tees offering thrill, excitement and challenge to the golfer.
Lost City also offers the most spectacular African views to be seen on a South Africa golf course. On the whole a round at Lost City is an experience which one will not easily forget. But it doesn't end with the golf.
