Tee it up in the Kruger Lowveld (Mar/Apr 2012 edition)
In our last edition we visited the regions of Komatipoort & Malelane and the great combination of golf and wild. In this edition we continue the trend as we see what’s on offer in Nelspruit, White River and Hazyview (an area know as The Kruger Lowveld).
Two major festivals take place in this region, namely the Big Five Easter Tournament (4th April to 8th April at the White River Country Cub) and the Jock of the Bushveld amateur tournament (7th May to 13th May at the Nelspruit Golf Club).
Whilst on our travels we heard about a 9-hole course situated on the Escarpment. Between Machadodorp and Nelspruit and billed as a “mountain links”, Drakenzicht is a little piece of heaven and features as our cover picture and main article within this feature.
