Skukuza course
“Our course is a Par 72, and is 5 950m (6 450 yards) for men and 5 059m (5 480 yards) for women. Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight. The course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure. For example #2, Par 3, has water on the left and to the back of the green. The signature hole #9, Par 3 of about 150m is played across Lake Panic. The Skukuza Golf Course has no bunkers, although ‘aerial bunkers’ abound because of the many trees found on the course.” Source: skukuza-golf.co.za
Elephant Hills course
“Designed by South African golf course architect Gary Player as an 18-hole Par 72 parkland course in 1974. The original 7 800-meter-long course, which winds along Kalahari sand and basalt rocks through bushes, was renovated in 1993 and shortened to a length of 6 205 meters. It features fast greens, numerous bunkers, and water hazards at 8 of the 18 holes, one of which is located right above the Devil’s Cataract at the western end of the Victoria Falls.” Source: golfcards.com
