Played on a Saturday morning it was so, so busy. The view looking down the first is fantastic. The fairways and greens were in fantastic condition. Caddies are optional, I had a GPS and that was good enough. Carts, drink and a meal included in the price. It cost 1300R for 2. They had some interesting holes-very sharp dog legs,... More

To be honest, our group planned to play both the Gary Player and Lost city courses during our stay in April 2013 and I was looking forward to the Gary Player course more, given the annual Nedbank Challenge being played there. I thought the Lost City course would be second rate and made more for the higher handicap players who... More

We enjoyed this course. Well priced, cart and lunch included - good quality club hire. Some downright nasty holes where your ball is etiher on the green or lost! Great views and we enjoyed the wild life. If you tee off early, you might want to wait til you finish rather than have lunch at the turn. Enjoy!

Don't hit your ball into the crocs enclosure - they don't like it! Course is in great condition and not too difficult, although I lost a few balls.

Challenging, beautiful, if you are going to take a Caddy you will not find any better than Moses or Isaac. They made the rounds the most memorable with their knowledge of the courses. Be sure to tip them well.

Great venue for a game of golf. Clubhouse is a very interesting design built out of, what looks like, sandstone rocks. I had a caddy who's knowledge of the greens was exceptional, worth getting one. 13th croc pit is mentioned by a number, definitely a memorable hole. The hotel towers are somewhat out of character on the horizon against the... More

A good challenge tends to play harder during the winter greens firmer and tough to keep balls on them even wit good shots. Fun at 13 Croc pit. Lots of animals.
