was upgraded to 18 holes in 1967-68. In 1998 Peter Matkovich did a major
upgrade including 18 new greens, 36 new bunkers and the rerouting of
holes 1, 2 and 3 to accommodate a housing development. Nelspruit Golf Club is home to the annual Jock of the Bushveld golf
tournament. This event is considered the biggest amateur event of its
kind in the world. Established in 1968 it has grown to host 800
competitors playing more then 2000 rounds of golf over one week every

There is also a practice tee, putting and chipping greens as well as a halfway house, a South African tradition offering refreshment in the middle of your round.
