Sishen Golf Club

Sishen Golf Club was designed by Robert Grimsdell in 1980 and quickly became 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 Golf Club features special off-the-beaten path luxury. The course is known for unique undulating greens as well as vibrant fairways straddled by dense thickets of thorn trees providing beautiful contrast to the high red sand dunes surrounding the property. 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 hazard short of the green, and the driveable dog-leg 14th with a green shielded by mounds and deep bunkers. Located five 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 now includes a modern clubhouse and houses that can be rented.
