SPORTS & LEISURE:
Golfers are astounded by the breathtaking beauty of the par-72 Lost City Golf Course.
The rich green fairways give a dramatic contrast to the bushveld backdrop and the barren waste
bunkers are a special feature of this intriguing course. The desert style design of the Golf
Course has an exotic allure all of its own and designer, Gary Player has acknowledged it as one
of his favourite courses.
The Lost City Golf Course is flexible: playing off the forward tee a course length of 5 953
metres, extending to 6 983 metres off the back tee. The Course provides spectacular views. The
most hazardous area of the Lost City Golf Course is the 13th hole. Inhabiting the water hazard
are 38 crocodiles, some of them nearly two metres 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. Playing the back nine 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 eleven, fourteen,
fifteen and sixteen are all played from elevated tees offering thrill, excitement and challenge
to the golfer. And some of the most spectacular African views to be had on a Golf Course. On
the whole a round at Lost City is an experience that one will not easily forget. But it
doesn't end with Golf.
