The PGA Baobab Course

Championship golf, unlike anywhere else on the continent.

Named for the ancient baobabs that frame several fairways, the course was designed to championship standard while preserving the estate's wildlife corridors — the two coexist by design, not by accident.

In golfers' words

What it feels like to play here.

Reflections from members and visiting golfers

"I've played Sun City, I've played the Cape courses — the Baobab is genuinely in that conversation. And I've never had a warthog cross the fairway anywhere else."

"Booked a tee time online in under two minutes, no back-and-forth with the pro shop. Small thing, but it set the tone for the whole visit."

"My daughter started at the junior clinic at age nine. Three years later she's the reason our whole family plays now."
