Magalies Park

Situated close to the Magalies River, at the foot of the Magaliesberg Mountains, the golf course at the Magalies Park Resort is a largely unheralded hidden gem in the North West Province that lies within a designated bird sanctuary.

The narrow, tree-lined fairways are set close to the Hartbeespoort Dam and, although water hazards come into play on a number of occasions during a round, there are no sand bunkers on any of the holes to help protect par.

Highlights here at Magalies Park include the signature hole at the downhill 3rd, the strong par four 12th and the most difficult hole on the scorecard at the 16th, where positioning off the tee is critical for the approach to a severely canted green.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
