Beauty and the Beast(s)

Strange name for a golf lifestyle video, but watch and enjoy golf in Johannesburg followed by the golf in the Kruger National Park.

The Beauty
The River Club. An exclusive club open to foreign green fee paying visitors. Founded in 1967 by businessman Punch Barlow, current membership enjoys one of the nicest manicured and laid out golf courses we’ve played. Easy navigation, superb condition, it is clear The River Club would sit easily in the Global Top 100.

The Beast (s)
Skukuza Golf Club. A little artistic license has been adopted here, in so far as the course isn’t a beast to play as you might think, more the beasts that could be on the course as you play. Located in the centre of the Kruger National Park, there are no fences, or guards as you play in amongst – well, who knows what. The commute to Skukuza is one that is rarely repeated!! Just nine holes, which can be played as 18, the condition wasn’t great, but the thrill of the experience was. A good fun round where looking over one’s shoulder became the norm!

Two totally different offerings, but don’t forget to watch the rescue mission at the end – some might say the bloopers!
