The Sabie River Golf Course, situated alongside Nelspruit and White River, is one of only four 18-hole courses in the beautiful Mpumalanga lowveld. Water is plentiful here and is present in the form of a hazard on all but four of the 18 holes. Best you bring along enough balls to deal with these water hazards! 

The Sabie River Golf Course was originally a nine-hole course built by the local farming community for their personal use. This was redesigned and extended in 1992 to an 18-hole championship course. The irrigation system ensures the fairways and bay view grass greens are always well kept.


The fairways are relatively hilly and very scenic, the rough is short and the greens are well guarded by water hazards and sand bunkers. A number of large indigenous trees also need to be taken into account on this challenging but fun golf course. 

Other prominent features of the course are the hippos and crocodiles that inhabit the main dam next to the 14th and 15th. The 16th has it all where golfers will have to negotiate with trees, waste bunkers and water hazards that are all well guarded by aquatic wildlife. So beware!
