The Club at Steyn City

The Club at Steyn City: located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, the golf course at Steyn City is the centrepiece of this expansive residential and sports development. The modern layout by Nicklaus Design, excellent practice facilities and award-winning clubhouse, represent an important addition to the golfing scene north of Jo'burg.

Reflecting the grandeur and breadth of Steyn City, and straddling either side of the Jukskei River (one of Johannesburg's main rivers), the impressive layout roams across predominantly open terrain. (Its neighbour to the south, the Dainfern Golf & Residential Estate, also straddles the same river).

The pleasantly undulating terrain on this cart-only course is home to a succession of excellently crafted holes that will thoroughly test your game. At over 7,000 metres from the tips, it’s a big challenge for the longest hitters, with wide fairways making for a player-friendly layout.

Water, in the form of ponds, creeks and the Jukskei River itself, all play their part in the layout's defences, as does plenty of stylish bunkering. A growing number of mansions and large villas around the course are generally set well back from the playing areas. Developer Douw Steyn’s palatial mansion, Palazzo Steyn, looks down onto the course and clubhouse from the 10th tee.
