Sishen – Herbert van Rensburg

Published by : Stuart McLean - 08 April 2020

Sishen Golf Club is based on the edge of the Kalahari desert and as such it is a Oasis of wonderful spendour in our region!

You will never encounter such beauty or so many Camel Thorn Trees on another Golf course anywhere else in the World.

There are even Springbok and Kudus roaming freely on the course.

I have played on many of the Top courses in South Africa but none of them compare with the rare beauty of Sishen Golf Course!
