Kathu, Northern Cape
Situated on the outskirts of the town of Kathu
in the Northern Cape Province, this is truly a unique setting in which to play a
round of golf - the course winds its way through a 500 hectare Camelthorn forest
on the edge of the Kalahari Desert.
Built and maintained by Sishen Iron Ore
Mine and officially opened in 1979, this, the last masterpiece of Robert
Grimsdell, which he unfortunately could not see completed.
Considering its surroundings, its lush green
fairways and greens have surprised many a visitor to this arid region. Being situated off the beaten track, the course is
blissfully un-congested and visitors are always assured of getting a game
here.
Sishen's par 72, 18-hole course is currently rated in
the top 30 best golf courses in South Africa, and is truly one of the
hidden gems of Southern Africa.
