Polokwane Golf Club
Offering players an exceptional golfing experience
The Polokwane Golf Course is a modern championship layout designed by renowned golf course architect Peter Matkovich in the early 1990s. Set in the heart of Limpopo’s bushveld, the course blends natural beauty with thoughtful design, offering players an exceptional and well-balanced golfing experience.
Matkovich’s design makes full use of the surrounding landscape, incorporating natural features and strategic elements to create a course that is both visually appealing and enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. Over the years, the course has been carefully maintained and refined, ensuring it remains one of the standout golfing destinations in the province.
Over the decades, the stewards and grounds team of Polokwane Golf Club have mastered the art of working with the natural terrain and environmental challenges of the region. Through thoughtful course management and continuous improvement, the course has evolved into one of the finest and most respected golf courses in Limpopo, attracting both local players and visitors from across South Africa.
The course itself is an 18-hole, Par-72 championship parklands layout, designed to challenge experienced golfers while remaining enjoyable for casual players. With three different tee options, golfers of all skill levels can enjoy the course at a comfortable yet competitive level. The fairways are generous and well maintained, allowing players to play confidently from the tee, while the Bent grass greens offer a smooth and true putting surface that rewards precision and skill.
Strategic course design plays a major role in the challenge of the layout. Golfers will encounter 14 water hazards placed throughout the course, ready to punish inaccurate shots and test course management. Beautifully sculpted bunkers guard many of the greens and fairways, adding both visual appeal and an additional layer of difficulty for those seeking a competitive round.
Set against the backdrop of the Limpopo bushveld, the course offers not only excellent golf but also a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The club is open year-round and warmly welcomes visitors throughout the week, making it a popular destination for traveling golfers, corporate outings, and social rounds alike.
