GOLF AT LEOPARD CREEK COUNTRY CLUB

This Gary Player-designed gem sits on the edge of Kruger National Park, overlooking the Crocodile River. Although Leopard Creek is located in the bushveld, no expense has been spared in creating one of the finest playing surfaces in the country, as evidenced in the lush emerald green kikuyu fairways, bent greens and white sculpted bunkers. This parkland course is naturally protected from the resident wildlife through clever architecture and landscaping. That said, chances are you’ll hear the hippos snorting, see antelope grazing, elephants roaming and pitch a shot over a lake full of crocodiles!
