Golf Courses in South Africa - Leopard Creek Golf Course

Situated just outside Nelspruit Leopard Creek borders on the Kruger National Park near Malelane in the Mpumalanga province. This ultra exclusive course was the mastermind of tobacco magnate Johann Rupert.
This par 72, parklands course is 6363 meters long and consists of immaculately kept fairways and greens surrounded by indigenous bushveld. The course is famous for its par 5 fourth that overlooks the Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park. The 14th hole has an uphill tee shot with a rock cliff to the left of the fairway and a bunker to the right. It is a relatively short hole with a small stream in front of the green catching any short shots. Another hole that stands out is the par 5 thirteenth; measuring 520 meters it plays to a green constructed on tons of steel.
