Lost City Golf Course

Thanks to Avis Luxury Cars and Barloworld, I was lucky enough to get to play a round of golf on the Lost City Golf Course at Sun City on Friday. Before I start on the golf, let me tell you about the really cool cars that you can get from Avis Luxury Cars. If you haven't already clicked the link then, once you do, you will be able to rent cars such as the Mini Convertable, Mercedes CLK or a Toyota Prado. You need a little bit of cash, but I am asured that the experience is well worth it.

Back to the golf.

My 4 ball played the course backwards, so it wasn't a true reflection of what Gary Player has imagined when he built this stunning course. I am told that it is a desert layout. Not many trees with views that go on for miles. Tee boxes are placed high up on the hills with dramatic changes in elevation that sees you ball fly for what seems like forever. These changes in altitude also always seem to be downhill, which is a pleasure, as playing uphill is just stupid.

The course is a carts-only course, so if you want to get fit, forget it. The motor powered carts include the latest GPS technology, so you always know where you are, where the hazards are and where the next 4 ball is, be it behind you or ahead. Acuracy seems fanstastic and it does help your game.

The spotters that travel ahead of your 4 ball can find that needle in the haystack. It is quite an amazing thing watching your spotter find a ball in grass as high as my navel and so thick you can't see the sand underneath.

The service from start to finish is exceptional! The course is forgiving and the experience is ausome. I know that the Country Club would be a better test of your golf, but to have fun, go to the Lost City....

BTW, I shot a 102.
