Overview
Sishen Golf Club was designed by Robert Grimsdell in 1980 and is one of the most unique and remote golf courses in the country. Set on the edge of the Kalahari Desert in an ancient forest of Kameeldoring trees, Sishen features special off-the-beaten-path luxury. The flat course is known for undulating greens and vibrant fairways straddled by dense thickets of thorn trees. Each hole at Sishen could be considered its signature, however, the ones that stand out the most are the risk-reward par-5 sixth with a thorn tree in the center of the fairway and water hazard short of the green, and the drivable dogleg 14th with a green shielded by mounds and deep bunkers. Located seven hours from Johannesburg in the mining town of Kathu, Sishen Golf Club promises one of the most special and least crowded rounds on the planet. The course is part of a residential estate.
