The Leopard Creek Golf Course in South Africa was designed by renowned golfer Gary Player in collaboration with course architect Ron Kirby. Their design integrates the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape with challenging and strategic elements, making it one of the premier golf destinations in the world.
Leopard Creek Country Club offers a world-class 18-hole championship golf course set on the banks of the Crocodile River, bordering the iconic Kruger National Park. Golfers can expect an exceptional golfing experience characterized by immaculate fairways, pristine greens, and the unique opportunity to observe wildlife in their natural habitat. The course’s layout takes full advantage of its proximity to the park, with several holes offering stunning views and close encounters with the diverse flora and fauna of the region.
Signature Holes
Hole 9 – Par 4: This hole is known for its dramatic setting and challenge. The fairway is flanked by trees, and the approach shot requires precision to navigate water hazards and reach the elevated green.
Hole 13 – Par 5: A standout hole, the 13th features a challenging dogleg left design that skirts the edge of the Crocodile River. Accuracy off the tee is essential to avoid the river and position for a manageable approach to the green.
Hole 18 – Par 5: The finishing hole is a spectacular par 5 with water hazards and bunkers strategically placed to test golfers’ strategy and shot-making abilities. The green is well-protected, demanding a precise approach to close out the round on a high note.
