Skukuza Golf Course, Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga

Skukuza Golf Course, Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga / The golf course at Skukuza in the Kruger National Park was built in 1972 as a recreational facility for the Skukuza personnel, and is now available to visitors to the Kruger Park. This is a first for South Africa and the world - a unique opportunity for golfers in one of the world's greatest conservation areas. The Skukuza Golf Course is designed for all levels of golfers.

The Skukuza Golf Course is a magnificent 9-hole (18-tee) course situated on the outskirts of Skukuza rest camp. 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 5950m for men and 5059m for women. Since the course is not fenced in, 'uninvited' spectators are a common sight and include hippo, impala, warthog and baboons, giraffe and more.

The Skukuza Golf Course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure. The signature hole 9, (Par 3 of about 150m) is played across Lake Panic. The Skukuza Golf Course has no bunkers, although 'aerial bunkers' abound because of the many trees found on the course.
