Few golf settings in South Africa carry a name as evocative as this one. Serengeti Golf Club sits in Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg on the Highveld plateau, where the elevation and dry air mean the ball flies noticeably farther than at sea level — a small but satisfying bonus for visiting golfers. The club draws its identity from the sweeping, open aesthetic of East Africa's great plains, and the design leans into that spirit with generous, flowing fairways set against the characteristic golden grasslands of the Gauteng summer and the crisp green of the wet season.
Kempton Park is part of the broader east Rand corridor, convenient to OR Tambo International Airport and well within reach of Johannesburg's lively golf scene. The region has produced serious competitive golfers over the decades, and the club sits comfortably in a stretch of the province well served by courses of genuine quality.
As a par 72 layout, Serengeti offers a balanced test with room for both scoring opportunities and genuine challenge — a course that rewards local knowledge and repays repeat visits.
