Day 2: Sun City (Breakfast, Lunch)

Tee-off for 1st 18-hole of golf at The Lost City Golf Course. The course was carved out of undulating and rocky terrain. Situated over a hill from the Gary Player Country Club, The Lost City’s layout is different in character. With the wide fairways and receptive greens, it is a fantastic golf experience for golfers of varying standards. The Lost City Golf Course covers more than 100 hectares and incorporates 28,000 square meters of water features – not surprisingly golf carts are compulsory. The most hazardous area of The Lost City Golf Course is the #13 signature hole. Inhabiting the water hazard are Nile crocodiles, some of them nearly two meters long. Golfers are discouraged from retrieving their wayward balls from the croc 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 the course a masterpiece.
In the afternoon, meet game tracker’s representative in the hotel lobby for Big 5 Game Drive in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

The comparatively flat nature of the golf course is misleading – water hazards, cunningly sited bunkers and pins hidden away on kidney shaped greens makes up for the lack of gradient. The course is immaculate with generally wide kikuyu fairways and bent greens. Although this parkland course is fairly flat, the many water hazards, cunning sited bunkers (the fairway bunkers have just been deepened) and hidden pin placement make up for the lack of gradient. This course also cuts through the African bush leaving the fairways with only the bushveld as a border.
