Description
The Lost City Golf club is situated just over the hill from the Gary Player Country Club and although both courses have similar characteristics, the Lost City Golf Club has a different layout. The course was carved out of an undulating rocky terrain and has a classical African feel. Even the clubhouse, which blends in perfectly, has been modelled on the Zimbabwe ruins, an ancient mystical city in the heart of Africa.
South African golfing legend and course designer, Gary Player, believes that he has created one of the top courses in the world at the Lost City, with its desert style front nine and out-of Africa back nine. The back nine is your golf safari with only a fence separating the golfers from the untamed African countryside that is the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
Playing the Course
There are views of the bushveld and mountainous terrain from every angel of this golf course. The front nine desert style layout has more of a links feel to it. Large waste bunkers are common to this part of the course and prevents safe landing area for drivers and places a premium on straight hitting.
The unforgettable par-three 13th (unlucky for some) fits in as the signature hole. The green is shaped like the African continent. From the elevated tee you will view the 9 bunkers and water hazards guarding the hole. If that doesn’t have you shaking in your cleats, then how about the 40 Nile crocodiles that make their home on the thirteenth? This hole has understandably become the graveyard for hundreds of golf balls!
