This Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course joins an elite group of 300 courses worldwide that carries the Nicklaus name but is the first 27-hole signature course in Gauteng. There are just five other Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses in South Africa; Pecanwood (Northwest Province), Pearl Valley (Western Cape), Simola (Southern Cape), St Francis Links (Eastern Cape) and Houghton (Gauteng). Serengeti has a reciprocity agreement with these golf courses whereby its members can play the courses at a special rate. Serengeti comprises of an 18 hole course, named Masai Mara, which has a rugged grassland and dune scape look and feel and a 9 hole course, named Whistling Thorn, which features classic design elements and a plains like feel. The Serengeti Golf Club is the first course in Gauteng to use cool season grasses meaning that the course remains lush green throughout the year. A variety of tee options combined with a careful consideration to daily set-up can provide the sternest of challenges for the most skilled players, yet the ideal environment for new golfers to learn the game. There are a number of unique features, such as the challenging par five, 8th hole with its island green. Harnessing the two golf courses is a multi faceted clubhouse of over 6500 square meters.
