Skukuza Golf Course

"Tee off in the wild on an unfenced safari course."

About the Experience

Nestled in the heart of the iconic Kruger National Park, Skukuza Golf Course offers a golfing experience unlike any other. Surrounded by untamed wilderness, this nine-hole, 18-tee course is a haven for both golf enthusiasts and nature lovers. It’s where the thrill of the game meets the beauty of the African bush.

Skukuza isn’t just a place to play golf—it’s an adventure. As you navigate fairways, you’ll encounter the sights and sounds of Kruger’s wildlife. Don’t be surprised to see antelope grazing, warthogs scurrying across the green, or even a crocodile by the water hazard. The course is unfenced, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. While exciting, it requires players to stay alert and respect the animals' presence.

The par-72 layout features a mix of open fairways, water hazards, and strategic bunkers. With 18 different tee boxes, the course transforms into a full 18-hole game, providing variety. The immaculate greens ensure high-quality play, while the stunning views of the bush make every shot unforgettable.

The clubhouse offers refreshments and a pro shop with equipment rentals. A deck overlooking the course is the perfect spot to relax after your game, with breathtaking views and the occasional wildlife visitor. It's a chance to experience the harmony between sport and nature in one of the world's most unique settings.
