General Information:
The course opened in November 2000, designed by Gary Player. The Course Superintendent is Greg Leckie. It was the venue for the Presidents Cup Match in 2003. It is a long, firm, fast and very demanding course, quite undulating, and wind could be a factor. There are several marshland areas, with the Malgas River running through the course.
