General Course Information


Area and Setting

Located in Moreleta Park / Wingate Park, southeast of Pretoria, the course is nestled in mature stands of gum and pine trees with a gently undulating Highveld terrain. It offers a calm suburb-setting yet remains within easy reach of major arterials — making it suited for luxury-traveller add-ons, business days and accessible/pre-/post safari rounds.

The club is historic — originally formed in the late 1940s with a strong local heritage. While it has evolved, the feel is traditional: no sprawling resort-estate overrides, just honest, well-conditioned parkland golf.

Layout and Signature Holes

The routing features a shorter front nine (~3,059 m) and a more demanding back nine (~3,681 m) Notable is the par-4 17th and the par-5 18th which close the round with risk-reward angles and large trees framing the fairway. The greens are known for their firmness and ride-off, requiring strategic thinking rather than brute length.

Best Time of Year for a Round

Pretoria’s Highveld climate lets you play year-round. Winter (May–September) offers crisp mornings and firmer playing surfaces. Summer brings warm days and potential afternoon pop-up showers; early tee times are preferable for a smooth round.
