North West

North West Province Golf Union and North West Women's Golf are the two provincial bodies that oversee the golfing interests of female and male golfers from the region. they each offer an administration service to more than five thousand golfers across 30 clubs. The golf course at 17 of the golf clubs takes place on a nine-hole course, with the members of the Venterspost Club, Venterspost which has the benefit of a layout with 10 holes. Orkney or Goldfields West are a couple of well-loved classic Bob Grimsdell designs in the province. However, there's three newer and more refined courses that are able to take the top most prestigious awards for the North West. One of them is Pecanwood which is a thrilling Jack Nicklaus Signature Course that began play in 1999. The other two courses can be located in The Sun City resort, where the Gary Player Country Club and Lost City layouts are amongst the top in the nation.
