Playing here when taking a break from Joburg is always a pleasure. Their new club house, pro shop and bar area, which is also the halfway, is a major improvement since I last came in 2016. The fairways are manicured and always in good shape thanks also to good rains. Improvements in their aloe and succulent gardens around the course are noticeable - good water-wise planning for the future. The T-box distance and par markings are now looking a little old. The greens remain a challenge, some showing spots. The many water sections make for excellent photography and the occasional call of a Purple-crested Turaco makes the game a touch bit more interesting. The Safari Gold draught beer from Sabie Brewing Co. available at the Clubhouse after the game didn't touch sides.
