The golf course at Skukuza in the Kruger National Park was built in 1972 as a recreational facility for the Skukuza personnel, and is now available to visitors to the Kruger National Park for the first time. Its setting makes it unique in all aspects.
The Skukuza Golf Course is a magnificent 9-hole (18-tee) course situated in the world-renowned Kruger National Park on the outskirts of Skukuza rest camp. The rich wildlife sanctuary surrounding the golf course is home to the Big Five, a huge variety of birds and countless animals, which all conspire to provide the visitor with a harmonious close-to-nature golfing experience.
Since the Skukuza golf course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight - hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few. The course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure. For example Number 2, Par-3, has water on the left and to the back of the green. The signature hole Number 9, Par-3 of about 150m is played across Lake Panic. The Skukuza Golf Course has no bunkers, although 'aerial bunkers' abound because of the many trees found on the course. The Skukuza Golf Course is designed for all levels of golfers.
