What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Drakensig Golf Club is praised for its beautiful bushveld setting and the unique experience of playing golf surrounded by nature and wildlife. However, some visitors note that the groundskeeping and infrastructure could be improved, and green fees are considered relatively high for the current condition. +1
"Drakensig is a beautiful course from a scenic point of view, but unfortunately the groundskeeping is disappointing, compared to other small town courses. It's sad to see, as it seems like it was once upon a time a very nice course. Considering the current state of the course, the relatively high green fees (R250 for a non-member 9 holes) is questionable. Nevertheless, it's a fairly easy and enjoyable course to play."

"Was the first I played on the course! And I must say it has been very well looked after! I don't play very often, so for me, it was a really nice not too difficult course to play. Loved the fact that it was surrounded by the bush and mountains and even spotted a snake, some warthogs, and some monkeys! I was, however, a little saddened by the fact that infrastructure was so dilapidated seeking as I visited the sports club a few times before when I was younger. As my parents were in the airforce and we visited hoedspruit every so often. Nonetheless, less. It's a beautiful course and enjoyed playing there"
Glen van Niekerk
"I am no golf player but this place is not one of your big, famous golf courses that we have in South Aftica, but it's nice suited inside the bushveld surrounded by hard wood and mountains. Quite a distance to walk especially in the local heat so I suggest to rent a Golf Car or to bring your own. Also be very careful for the local wildlife. The Impales wouldn't really bother you but the baboon and warthogs and definitely the snakes could."
