- 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.
