Gary Player Country Club-Sun City
It seems as though Mr Player has a few fingers in quite a few pies so to speak, but I suppose when your good at something you just keep going; and that’s exactly what he did when he created, alongside Ron Kirby, the Gary Player Country Club at Sun City. Of course being among SA’s best courses the GPCC is a championship course, 18 holes of pristine splendour with water holes breaking the rolling carpet link fairways await the avid golfer.
The course is currently ranked as the No.2 course in SA and is used in the Nedbank Challenge where a host of the worlds best golfers visit annually, including past winners such as Ernie Els, Sevvy Ballersteros, Ian Woosnam, Nick Price and Sergio Garcia. Join the ranks and take a swing at what many regard as demanding and difficult course. Although is fairly flat the 7000 metres of course is booby-trapped with water hazards and bunkers cunningly sited around the course; more than making up for the loss of gradient.
The signature hole is perhaps the 9th, with a challenging and tempting island green, many try their luck with a second ball…will you?
