Soutpansberg Golf Club, nestled at the foot of the majestic Soutpansberg Mountains in Louis Trichardt (Makhado), Limpopo, is a delightful gem for golf enthusiasts seeking an authentic bushveld experience. The course is a compact yet challenging 9-hole layout, played from 18 tees, spanning approximately 6 254 metres for men and 5 337 metres for ladies. Featuring bent-grass greens and kikuyu fairways, it blends natural beauty with golfing charm and rewards both precision and strategic thought rather than power.
The clubhouse exudes humble hospitality and caters thoughtfully to golfers’ every need. Inside, you’ll find a well-stocked bar offering refreshments, a halfway house for mid-round snacks, and a pro shop for essentials. There are also practical amenities such as restrooms with showers and function facilities that can host small conferences or events, lending the venue a versatile and welcoming feel.

The clubhouse, once a simple thatched hut, stood in contrast to today’s more established structure. The annual Hanglip 54 tournament, held in July, remains a highlight on the local golfing calendar, attracting both regional and visiting players who come to enjoy the camaraderie and competitive spirit the club is known for.
