Gary Player Country Club

Sun City - South Africa

The Gary Player Country Club golf course is part of the huge Sun City entertainment complex and borders the - also by Gary Player designed - Lost City golf course and the Pilanesberg National Park. The course lies amidst beautiful nature and is regarded as one of the best in the world. Stretching over more than 7000 metres, it definitely is one of the world's longest golf courses. Here, every year in December, during the hot season, the "Million Dollar Challenge", sponsored by South Africa´s Nedbank, is played.

All 18 holes are to be classified as difficult. There are plenty bunkers and water hazards in the shape of rivers and dams. The most spectacular hole is the ninth with its island green (par five).
