Unleash your swing at Akasia Golf Club

Residents of Akasia, you've got something special in your backyard - Akasia Golf Club, one of the best golf courses in Pretoria North. Lying just half an hour from the city's bustling city centre, this golf haven promises an 18-hole golfing experience like no other. Impeccable greens and year-round lush kikuyu fairways set the stage for golfing excellence. 

The course also boasts competitive pricing, stellar facilities, and events you won't want to miss. There's no excuse not to grab your club, soak in the stunning views of the Magaliesberg mountain range, and bask in the rays of the South African sunshine. 

Step in and explore the course

This 18-hole course offers an authentic bushveld experience, complete with a mix of 5 par 5's, 5 par 3's, and quick bent grass greens that will put your skills to the test. It was brought to life in 1994 by Dr Piet Groenewald, a landscaper renowned for his designs. And what a course layout he's put together! Acacia thorn trees add both charm and challenge to your game. As you make your way through the course, a winding river creates a peaceful backdrop and provides an engaging water hazard. Rich birdlife and a few antelope species can be spotted on the course, letting you connect with nature while you play.

Get more rounds for your rands

Reviews from fellow golf enthusiasts rave about the "tricky" course layout and, most importantly, the affordable pricing. With options like a full male membership at R5,500 or a full ladies membership at just R2,850 (both offering 24 free rounds a year), there's something for every golfer's budget. Avid golfers will want to take advantage of the unlimited golfing option for R7,970.

Special memberships are available for the over 50s, students, associates, weekly golfers, and juniors, ensuring that everyone can tee off affordably. Plus, you can get a 7.5% discount on food and beverages at Akasia Golf Club's restaurant; a perk of some membership options.

First-class facilities at your fingertips

You're in for a treat when it comes to convenience. Akasia Golf Club offers both caddies and golf carts. The shop is a great stop for the latest clothing and equipment and has a workshop for repairs and club fittings. 

Both amateur and experienced golfers will love the practice facilities, including a spacious driving range, a putting green, and qualified coaches. When you're ready for a break, the halfway house has you covered. The Mooka Soetdoring restaurant is a favourite for its mouthwatering English breakfasts and hearty meals, like rump steak, pork kebabs, BBQ chicken wings, and crispy chips. Always enquire for some great specials off the menu.

Add marks on your calendar 

There's never a dull day at Akasia Golf Club. Both residents and visitors alike can look forward to several club competitions, sponsored competitions, fundraising events, and corporate golf days that add an air of excitement to the course greens. This year, the club hosted the third Toyotaholics Africa Golf Day, collecting several kgs of dog food to support the local Wollies Animal Shelter. 

Akasia Golf Club also offers several venues to cater to your personal event needs. There's the elegant Kameeldoring (80 to 200 people), the Garden Venue which is perfect for weddings (30 to 180 people), Soetdoring with its covered veranda and views of the golf course (40 to 90 people), and the Conference Venue (10 to 40 people) for office functions.
