Hazyview & Paul Kruger Park Gate Golf Courses

Kruger Park Lodge Golf Course at the Kruger Park Lodge Estate, Hazyview (Mpumalanga, South Africa)

The Kruger Park Lodge Estate is located on the 9 hole Gary Player designed golf course on the banks of the Sabie River in Hazyview, Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. The Kruger Park Lodge resort offers guests a tranquil and peaceful place for relaxtion. 

Facilities on the resort include four tennis courts, three swimming pools restaurant and various children's playground activities. There is a driving range at the entrance gate to the resort. Various walks have been set out around the golf course and along the river and guests may watch the local hippo from the safety of a hippo hide built on the edges of one of the many dams on the property.

The Lowveld 9-hole Kruger Park Lodge golf course offers a refreshing balance between challenge and playability.  The course is a par-72 parkland course with broad Kikuyu fairways and Bayview greens. It is not often that one gets to play a round golf in a setting where herds of impala and warthog are your spectators and the water 'hazards' are the hippo's.

The accent is on relaxation and enjoyment, allowing for just enough 'bite', to come away with a sense of achievement after playing to one's handicap. The 1st hole is a forgiving par-four, while the 2nd is more demanding, with a long approach to a well-trapped green. A dam to the right of this hole affords the golfer compelling views of crocodiles and hippos, which lie on the edge, basking int the sun.

Water guards the green at the par-five 3rd, the 4th is a shortish par-four and the 5th, a par-three, offers an exquisite view across Hazyview and through the valley towards Sabi. The 6th is a gentle par-four and the 7th is a punishing par-three, where the tee shot must clear a large stretch of water.

Care has been taken to preserve the natural beauty of the area and Azaleas, Bougainvilleas and a host of indigenous plants provide colorful areas on the Kruger Park Lodge golf course.  The Kruger Park Lodge Golf Course is only 10 minutes away from the game rich Kruger National Park, situated on the banks of the Sabie River in the Lowveld, it is a true wilderness paradise.
