Leopard
Creek Golf Course
Situated near Malelane in the heart of Mpumalanga, on
the southern border of the Kruger National Park, the exclusive
Leopard Creek presents a rare opportunity to play golf
in the heart of the bushveld. The 360 hectare development
is bordered to the north and the west by the picturesque
Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park. Typical
bushveld koppies overlook the course from the east, providing
an ideal backdrop for a magnificent course.
The ultimate vision of Leopard Creek, built by Gary Player,
was to create an Augusta in Africa and no expense has
been spared creating this masterpiece that is Leopard
Creek!
The model for Leopard Creek is exclusivity. Membership
is by invitation only and members include the likes
of Ernie Else and Jack Nicklaus. Guests staying at the
Malalane Sun Intercontinental Hotel may get on the course
only by successful application and R1300 green fees
- this course is the most expensive course to play on
in South Africa. Some golfers rate the course, and the
whole golfing experience, as being better than both
Fancourt Montagu and the Gary Player Country Club.
Course
The 510 meter par-five fourth is one of Leopard Creek's
most memorable holes. Here the green is right on the edge
of the Crocodile River bur 32 meters above the level of
the water, offering magnificent views up the river and
into the Kruger Park. Elephant are often seen walking
alongside the river.
Leopard Creek Golf Course has many featured holes, but
the one that stands out is the par 5 sixteenth. Its green
overlooks the Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River.
Gary Player is especially proud of the par-five 18th
with its island green and the par-four ninth with its
peninsula green jutting out of the same body of water
which, incidentally, is home to a number of hippo.
