Hans Merensky

The Hans Merensky Golf Club lies in a subtropical paradise in the Limpopo Province. The hilly course was opened in 1967 and has since then been maintained very well, with intensely green fairways and several enchanting water features.Because the golf course borders in the east directly on the Kruger National Park, one can not only play golf here, but also observe a lot of game, e.g. various antelopes, giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile.Even lions have been sighted on the course. The game arrives usually early in the morning and late in the afternoon to drink at the waterholes. Golfers should only move around the course in a caddy to avoid unpleasant encounters.The Hans Merensky Golf Club is a favourite destination of many South Africa golf tours, for the course provides an authentically African experience. The 8th hole (par 3, 155 metres long) is particularly attractive. The green is guarded by a water obstacle, where crocodiles live. Each year a tournament of the South African Vodacom Tour is being played here.
