Course Overview
Pecanwood puts emphasis on quality of life, from the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course to the aesthetics of the architect-designed homes. Jack designed the 18-holes at Pecanwood to such exacting standards that the course was voted Golf Digest's best new course in 1998. In addition Pecanwood boasts:
- One of the only five courses in South Africa to receive a 5 Star Rating from Golf Digest, based on playability, course condition, shot values and all round service levels.
- Double-sided practice range.
- A 900m_ practice green.
- Five hectares of sand bunkers.
- 12,000 linear meters of sub surface drainage.
- Over 6000 indigenous trees on and around the golf course.
- Kikuyu grassed fairways with Crenshaw bent grass greens.
- Five inland lakes incorporated into the golf course design.
- The landscaped, irrigated and grassed area is equivalent to that of an average 36-hole layout.
