Origins

The championship course was established as the golf centrepiece of Serengeti Estates and carries the Jack Nicklaus Signature designation.

Design Philosophy

The layout forms part of Nicklaus Design's international portfolio and was conceived as a full championship course rather than merely a residential-estate amenity.

Development

Serengeti's golf offering has expanded beyond the Signature Course to include the Whistling Thorn par-3 course, a children's course, a nine-hole putting complex, driving range and golf academy.

Recognition

Its strongest documented competitive recognition comes from hosting the South African Open in consecutive years, 2011 and 2012.

Today

The Signature remains the principal full-length course at Serengeti Estates and operates within a multi-course golf and practice complex.
