DAY 1
On arrival at Johannesburg International Airport you will
be met by The Michelangelo Hotel and transferred to Sandton
City where you will be staying at The Michelangelo Hotel for
4 nights on a Bed and Breakfast basis. Your hired car will
be delivered to the hotel on your arrival.
DAY 2
Play golf this morning at the prestigious platinum rated Houghton
Golf Club.
One of Johannesburg's mature parkland layouts and host to
many of the Alfred Dunhill Championships and SA Opens. It
is both a challenging and an aesthetically pleasing course:
a proclaimed bird sanctuary and thickly treed with bluegums,
willows and jacarandas with varieties of flowering shrubs.
Not a long course by modern standards (5237 m; par 72), it
remains challenging and has the reputation of testing every
club in the bag, but remains its quality and charm by rewarding
and pleasing its golfers of all skill levels.
DAY 3
Play golf this morning at the platinum rated Pecanwood Golf
and Country Club.
Situated on the banks of the Hartebeespoort Dam, some 40 minutes
from Sandton, it is one of Jack Nicklaus's signature courses.
The course layout has generously wide, "collecting"
fairways with large multi-featured greens, several water hazards,
severe bunkers and slick, demanding putting surfaces. 6995m
in length and par 72, precise positional play and lines of
attack are required if pars and birdies are to be had.
DAY 4
Play golf this morning at the platinum rated Glendower Golf
Club.
This parkland course originally dates back to 1936, meaning
that the defining charcteristics - trees, shrubs, watercourses
- are long established, but much hard work has been inputted
to improve and modernize this course. This immaculate course
has kikuyu fairways and bent grass greens. It is a course
for the good ball-striker: it plays long from its championship
tees and several holes require either tee shots or approach
shots over water. Length: 6411m; par 72.
DAY 5
Check out of The Michelangelo Hotel and transfer yourselves
to the Sun City Resort complex in the North-West province.
Here you will be staying at either The Cascades or Sun City
Hotel for 3 nights on a B&B basis. Situated 180 km north-west
of Johannesburg.
DAY 6
Play golf today at The Lost City Country Club.
Length: 6983 m; par 72. Also designed by Gary Player with
a theme that is of an African Adventure in the Indiana Jones
style. It abounds with surprises - one being a short hole
(not telling which one) which is played over a crocodile infested
pit to a green shaped like the continent of Africa! The course
is aesthetically pleasing and can distract one from the excellence
of the layout which balances birdie opportunities with the
sternest of examination papers. With many water hazards these
plush playing corridors seem oasis-like as they thread their
way through the arid African bushveld.
DAY 7
Play golf today at the platinum rated The Gary Player Country
Club.
Length: 7033m; Par 72. Gary Player designed this superb modern
resort course which was constructed some 20 years ago, and
whose fame has been spread worldwide by the Nedbank Golf Challenge
played annually in December. The course is immaculately presented
with wide kikuyu fairways and bent grass greens contrasting
with the more barren thorn-scrub and aloe-covered hillsides
through which the big layout meanders. Putting surfaces are
firm, fast and perfect emphasized by dramatic bunkering which
allows for a variety of elusive pin positions. Water comes
into play on 5 holes. Most famously the par-five 9th is an
island green surrounded by waterfalls and artificial rocks.
DAY 8
Check out of Sun City and transfer to Johannesburg International
Airport for your connecting flight home. Please deposit your
hired car at the airport depot.
