1.Tee off amongst the wildlife
How would you feel about teeing off with a hippo as a spectator? Hippos, crocodiles and various other wildlife have made their home on the Sabi River Sun Golf Course and are curious spectators of each round of golf. The 18-hole golf course offers a unique and challenging experience. Water is a huge factor on this scenic course and comes into play on all but four of the holes in the form of river crossings and dams. Beautiful surroundings, African wildlife and an exciting course. What more could your delegates wish for?
2.Play around on South Africa’s oldest golf course
If you want a historical and grand golfing experience, head to the Royal Cape Golf Club in Cape Town, which dates back to 1885 and is the oldest golf club in South Africa. With a magnificent view of the glorious Table Mountain, this is one of South Africa’s most scenic courses and features numerous ponds, abundant bird life and brilliant USGA spec greens.
Make sure that you leave some time to enjoy a drink in the fantastic old clubhouse, which wraps around the putting green, creating a unique atmosphere.
3.Wine or golf? Both!

The designers include Retief Goosen, Thomas Björn, Colin Montgomerie, Sergio Garcia and Luke Donald.
5.Play at the home of the Million Dollar Golf Challenge
The Gary Player Golf Course in Sun City is home to the annual “Million Dollar Golf Challenge”. The course is challenging and is consistently ranked amongst the top 5 courses in South Africa. Gary Player used his know-how as a professional golfer to design this course. He understood perfectly what golfers would appreciate while designing a course that is challenging and enjoyable.
The strength of this golf course lies in the fact that it doesn’t favour any particular shot, and provides the same result whether playing the forward or intermediate tees. 8000 yards of golfing pleasure await each player with mesmerising views at every turn.
After golf, delegates can choose from the wide variety of activities on offer at Sun City such as the Valley of the Waves water park, adventure activities, water sports at Waterworld, gaming in the casino.
