About Leopard Creek Country Club Golf Course

Leopard Creek Country Club sits on the western boundary of the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga Province, and no description can fully prepare a golfer for the experience of playing next to one of Africa's greatest wilderness reserves. Hippos wallow in the Crocodile River that borders several holes, elephants sometimes walk the perimeter fence, and the 13th hole — a par-3 with a green set just metres from the river and the Kruger Park fence — is the most extraordinary natural setting in African golf. Designed by Gary Player and opened in 1996, Leopard Creek combines championship-quality golf with an authentic African bush experience. The course is strictly private and exclusive, requiring a member or a stay at the adjacent lodge to gain access. This exclusivity has made Leopard Creek one of the most sought-after golf experiences on the continent. It hosts the Alfred Dunhill Championship each year, one of South Africa's flagship professional events, confirming its status as Africa's most dramatically situated world-class golf course.
