Kulungi Riverside lodge Golf Safaris .
Golf
enthusiasts can unwind on one of the picturesque courses within easy
driving distance from Kulungi, and a must would be to enjoy a round at
the renowned Hans Merensky Golf Course where it is common to see
elephant, giraffe, warthogs, baboons and a variety of antelope
crossing the rolling fairways.
Greet
the African dawn on the manicured fairways of the challenging 18 Hole,
Par 72 Championship golf course, where crocodile and hippo add spice
to the normal "hazards" of a good game of golf. Wild game
including elephant, lion, giraffe and a wide variety of antelope and
bird life are often seen on the golf course and in the surrounds. The
legendary Bob Grimsdell designed this unique course, which extends
over a vast area of indigenous bush, interspersed with tranquil pools
and velvet greens.
The
land on which the course is built once formed part of the Kruger
National Park and magnificent bushveld trees line the fairways and
form backdrops to the holes, giving the impression that the course is
far older than its 30 years. From the moment one enters the club
grounds, one realises that this is a uniquely African experience -
monkeys leap above in the enormous trees near the clubhouse, which is
said to have the biggest thatched roof in the country.
The course is truly a revelation. It has hosted many high-profile professional and amateur tournaments, a measure of its widely acknowledged quality. There is not a single weak hole, but from the forward tees, the novice player is sure to thoroughly enjoy the round. It is difficult to single out specific holes on so fine a layout, but the four par fives are all excellent, particularly the 16th, where a pulled or hooked drive could well land in the Park. The par three 8th and 17th holes, both over water to well-bunkered greens, are also exceptional.
