Skukuza - A unique opportunity for golfing enthusiasts within one of the world's greatest conservation establishments. Not a championship course by any means, but the only course that lies within the Kruger National Park. Watch out for hippos in particular on the 9th, in Lake Panic! You have to hit over them on this par-3 hole.

This 9 hole course is perfect for walking off some of those fabulous Safari Lodge meals and can be played in between the morning and afternoon game drive from Lodges in the southern end of the park.

Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight. While the graceful and curious giraffe may stop by to thoroughly analyse the arc of your swing, the grazing impalas and warthogs won't pay you any attention at all! In it's more than 25 years of existence, the course has seen many well-known figures walking the fairways, including former Prime Ministers, Presidents, a variety of political figures, Princes and a gallery of South Africa's best known golfers.

The course winds around a large central lake, which flanks several of the holes and provides the most challenging hazard on the course. The ground is hard so balls bounce a long way along the fairway and it takes a delicate chip to land your ball succesfully on the green.

There are no bunkers on the course but plenty of trees which provide an interesting test. There are 2 par 3's both over water, the final being over the hippo filled lake, back towards the clubhouse. Its a nervy 150m tee shot to the green with little margin for error- definitely a 'who dares wins' moment! Great fun.

The course has 2 tee boxes for each hole so that you can play 18 holes without repetition.

Carts are available and provide welcome shade from the African Sun. Caddies are also available for roughly £3 for 9 holes. Whilst they may not be of a high caddying standard,  we suggest taking one in addition to a cart. They can find wayward balls and also to guide you around the course.
