Description
Pecanwood Golf and Country Club was the first course in Africa to be designed by the Legendary Jack Nicklaus. So when the Golden Bear tells you that Pecanwood will soon become the number 1 ranked golf course in South Africa, you had better take him seriously!
Situated on the southern banks of the Hartebeespoort Dam and surrounded by the beautiful Magaliesberg Mountains, the layout of this course is first class! The course is tough and challenging enough without having to contend with the wind that usually picks up from the Dam in the afternoon. This is a course designed to test your skills to the full, and it does, but could be far too tough for the weekend part-timer.
Playing the Course
The Pecanwood Golf course is very long and exceptionally flat. The resilient Crenshaw bent greens - a first in South Africa - are fast and true. And the wide kikuyu grassed fairways make for forgiving scores, if you don’t reach one of the hundreds of bunkers. A characteristic of any Jack Nicklaus design are the vast amount of bunkers! Pecanwood boast the most bunkers of any course in the country, totaling 5 hectors! So stay out of the bunkers to post a decent score. The water hazards come into play on 9 of the 18 holes and also watch out for the many large indigenous trees.
The signature thirteenth, unlucky for some, is particularly interesting and beautiful. You play around the lake to a green that juts out onto water surrounded by shrubs, bunkers on both sides and water.
