- Silver Lakes Country Club
Private Estate Golf in a Secure Luxury Pretoria Sanctuary
Silver Lakes offers a refined, quietly exclusive round inside a premier gated estate in Pretoria East — serene lakes, mature trees and polished fairways delivering the feel of a private members’ club, yet convenient to Johannesburg–Pretoria travel routes. It’s an elegant city-side base that suits discerning international travelers who prefer understated luxury over resort bustle.
General Course Information
Area and Setting
Set within a prestigious residential estate in Pretoria East, Silver Lakes balances privacy and convenience: tranquil lakes, birdlife and tree-lined fairways create a calm, discreet round only minutes from upscale dining and shopping. The mood is relaxed, elegant and highly secure — ideal for guests who value space and quiet refinement.
Villas and waterways frame the course without intruding on play. The ambience is more private-club polish than resort spectacle, making it a seamless fit for luxury itineraries that combine Johannesburg–Pretoria city time with Greater Kruger or Cape Winelands travel.
Layout and Signature Holes
The routing is classic parkland with strategic water and graceful fairway movement. Lakes influence several approaches and par-threes, rewarding composed course management and confident wedges. The waterside short holes are highlights — picturesque, playable, and quietly demanding when breezes ruffle the estate’s linked water features.
Best Time of Year for a Round
Gauteng’s mild, dry winter (May–September) offers crisp mornings, bright afternoons and firm, fast conditions — a favorite for many. Spring and autumn (August–October; March–May) provide gentle temperatures and lush presentation. Summer brings afternoon showers; early tee times are best.
