Centurion Country Club
Centurion Country Club sits in an upmarket residential estate midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, a Peter Matkovich design of real variety. A par 72 of about 6,373 meters, it mixes classic parkland with desert style waste areas and water on many holes, an accessible and enjoyable Gauteng round.

The verdict
Designed by the prolific South African architect Peter Matkovich, Centurion Country Club anchors a large, upmarket golf estate in the fast growing town of Centurion. The par 72 plays to about 6,373 meters from the back tees, with three sets of forward markers that make it enjoyable for golfers of every standard.
What sets it apart is the variety. Tree lined parkland holes give way to stretches of desert style waste area, and water is in play on a good number of holes, so the round never settles into a single rhythm. Central, well conditioned and easy to access, it is a convenient and rewarding round for the visiting golfer based between the two big Gauteng cities.

The holes worth the trip
Centurion keeps you guessing. The parkland holes ask for position between the trees, while the desert style waste areas bring a different kind of trouble, rewarding the player who commits to a line rather than steering the ball. Water threatens enough greens to keep the card honest.
The greens are well conditioned and run at a good pace, and the multiple tee options let the course flex from a friendly resort length to a proper test from the back. The mix of holes means a range of clubs comes out of the bag, and the round rewards adaptability over a single go to shot.
It is a modern, varied parkland layout that suits a relaxed day's golf as much as a competitive one. Set in the heart of Gauteng's commuter belt, it is one of the more convenient quality rounds in the region and a natural pairing with the older clubs of Pretoria and Johannesburg.
