General Course Information
Area and Setting
Located in the warm Lowveld near the Kruger National Park, White River Country Club sits among lush plantations and riverine vegetation, offering a scenic and peaceful natural setting. The course blends mature trees and streams with relaxed Lowveld atmosphere, ideal for travellers who value nature, wildlife and understated regional charm.
The ambiance is elegant yet approachable — a comfortable complement to luxury safari itineraries, especially when staying in nearby lodges or private villas around White River, Hazyview or Kruger’s southern gates.
Layout and Signature Holes
The parkland layout features gentle elevation shifts and multiple water interactions. Notable holes include the attractive par-5 7th and 11th — both shaped by river movement and strategic shot-making. Kikuyu fairways and true Bentgrass greens ensure favourable playing conditions year-round.
Best Time of Year for a Round
The Lowveld enjoys warm weather year-round. The dry season (May–September) offers crisp, clear mornings and firm conditions. Summer (October–March) is hot, green and tropical — morning tee times are preferable before afternoon thundershowers. The course remains playable across all seasons.
