Serengeti Estates boasts the opulent Jack Nicklaus Signature layout, making it a premier golfing destination in South Africa. Conveniently located near OR Tambo International Airport and the R21 highway, it offers easy access to Johannesburg and Pretoria. The 780-hectare estate, once a flat plain, has been transformed into an attractive golfing venue renowned for its outstanding conditioning.
Nicklaus meticulously designed the course, creating a naturally rugged look to complement the softly undulating playing surfaces. Water hazards are present on eight holes, adding to the challenge. Acclaimed by Golf Digest as South Africa’s Best New Course in 2010, the championship layout stretches 7,096 meters from the back tees.

The estate also features the unique 18-hole championship Par 3 course, Whistling Thorn, designed by Dino de Abreu. Golf carts are compulsory on both courses, ensuring convenience and ease for all players. Serengeti Estates offers a blend of dramatic and unusual holes, with undulating greens providing an interesting challenge.
