Blair Atholl Golf & Equestrian

Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate, formerly Gary Player's home, first gained a reputation for polo in 1968 before they commissioned Player himself to design an 18-hole championship course in 2007. Located in the heart of the estate, each nine follows an anti-clockwise loop adding to the luxury and privacy of the estate. The course is known for its incredible length at nearly 8300 yards, as well as its undulating greens, snaking hazards, and wide sprawling meadows. The two signature holes are the 200-yard par-3 third playing over a ravine filled with water, as well as the uphill par-5 16th flanked by a natural area and creek that visually shrink the fairway and force an intimidating risk-reward decision on the approach. The course is located on the edge of Rhenosterspruit Nature Conservancy in Johannesburg and features incredible wildlife and the meandering Crocodile River.
