Pecanwood Golf and Country Club is situated on the southern shore of the Hartbeesport Dam en route to Sun City and north of Johannesburg. Overlooking the Hartebeespoort Dam and the oldest reported mountain range in the world, The Magaliesberg Mountains, Pecanwood is one of the greatest 18 hole courses to be added to South Africa’s list.

Pecanwood, designed by Jack Nicklaus, features holes similar to the finest holes in America including the 18th from Pebble Beach. The course is outstanding, both from its setting and for its design and layout. Whatever your standard of golf, there is a way round to suit you.

The fairways are grassed with Kikuyu from tee to green while the greens themselves are the first to be planted in South Africa in Crenshaw bent grass.

Due to the extremely resilient nature of this grass, capable of withstanding the combined effects of heat and heavy traffic, they can always be cut low and kept fast.
