  • The Lost City Country Club Some ten years after the completion of the Gary Player Country Club, the popularity of the Sun City Resort and its many attractions demanded that another golf course be built.

  • The Lost City Golf Course The Lost City Golf Course offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities, designed by Gary Player.

The par-three 13th, features a green constructed in the shape of the African continent, which is bordered by a pond, home to several large Nile crocodiles. The golfer can chose whether to tackle the course from its championship tees, the standard markers, or forward tees. Even playing the shortest route presents a fascinating test, as the approaches to the greens, protected by the trademark Player bunkers, demand careful judgment. If, as many golf course critics maintain, a great layout should test every one of the 14 clubs, the Lost City passes the acid test with flying colours. Course facilities include a Pro Shop, driving range and restaurant. Bookings are essential. Tee-off Times Summer: 07h30 – 12h30 (18 holes); 15h00 – 16h00 (9 holes) Winter: 08h00 – 12h30 (18 holes); 15h00 – 15h30 (9 holes) Please note: Golf course closed on Tuesdays. t: +27 14 557 1245/6 f: +27 14 557 3426 e: olga.djeco@za.suninternational.com
