Positioned south of Pretoria, the Zwartkop Country Club in Centurion is gracefully nestled within a prime estate, harmoniously intertwined with a picturesque section of the Hennops River. The course’s design intricately incorporates the meandering Hennops River, requiring golfers to cross its waters an impressive 12 times during a single round.
Zwartkop Country Club stands out as one of South Africa’s esteemed clubs, marking its 80th anniversary with a well-established reputation. Hosting many national and provincial tournaments alongside its regular appearances on the FNB Tour, Zwartkop has welcomed legendary golfers who have embraced the challenges offered by this renowned course.
Initially crafted by Bob Grimsdell, the course has undergone a revitalization spearheaded by Peter Matkovich and CEO Dale Hayes, showcasing Matkovich’s distinctive design elements. Spanning a modest 6442 meters, this classic parkland layout presents visitors with a memorable golfing experience open to the public. Securing accommodations in Centurion and booking tee times in advance is advisable to ensure a seamless visit.
Featuring an array of exceptional holes, Zwartkop provides a rigorous yet rewarding test for golfers seeking to elevate their skills. The club’s motto encapsulates its welcoming spirit: “If you love golf, we love you.”
