We played both the Gary Player and the Lost City course on our recent visit to Sun City in April 2013. The course is immaculately presented and is a true challenge of golf. As a solid 5 marker, I found this an enjoyable course, but unfortunately put a little too much trust in the caddie who gave me several bad... More

Challenging Course but great experience. A round will cost you around R715 inclusive of lunch and soft drink. No carts allowed. Caddies are helpful and come at an average cost of about R180 per 18 holes.

You need to walk - they have banned buggies. Good caddies and we hired quality Mizuno clubs. Lunch is included and usually taken at the turn but if you start early you may want to wait til you finish.

Hi all, We played a fourball here recently for 1000R per person. Great course and the greens are lightening fast! The wild life on the course adds an extra dimension which is good too. We didnt take caddies but did take a spotter who proved himself on the greens. He knew them so well and enabled me to get two... More

Cost = abt AUD 160 including caddie, clubs & a lunch. The caddies are a little disinterested but the lunch and course & pro-shop staff are brilliant!!

My husband played and he has not stopped speaking about it since then. He said the greens must be the best kept in the world ? Even though it is a bit pricey - it is well worth every cent.

Could do with a lot more refreshments on the course. We played on a day where it was 35 degrees in the shade and there was only 3 points where a person could get a cold drink throughout the course.

Next to The Palace and the tougher of the two courses. International tournaments played there so it's fun to play behind one of them as the course set up tends to give a novice an idea of what the pros play to
