Sun City Hotel Crowned South Africa’s Best Golf Hotel 2025

Sun City has once again taken its place in the national spotlight, this time on the world stage. We are proud to announce that Sun City Hotel has been honoured as South Africa’s Best Golf Hotel 2025 at the prestigious World Golf Awards. This accolade not only celebrates our legacy but also pays homage to the powerful partnership between Sun City Hotel and the iconic Gary Player Country Club.

A Heritage Rooted in Excellence

Since opening side by side in 1979, Sun City Hotel and the Gary Player Country Club have shaped the landscape of South African golf tourism. Together, they unlocked an untapped market of local and international golfers who sought a never-before-seen destination that brought together championship golf with luxury hospitality.

Over the decades, this synergy has earned Sun City Hotel its reputation as Africa’s playground, while the Gary Player Country Club continues to stand tall as South Africa’s premier championship test of golf and home to global tournaments and unforgettable moments.

Reimagining the Future of Hospitality and Golf

Winning South Africa’s Best Golf Hotel comes at a time when we have re-energised Sun City Hotel with a bold and transformative investment. Our recent R390 million revitalisation project included elevating guest experiences with redesigned rooms, innovative dining options, and a breathtaking multi-layered, Las Vegas-style poolscape.

This project was more than a renovation; it was a contribution to the local economy, creating 550 jobs at the height of construction and supporting ongoing employment opportunities within the community.

On the greens, the Gary Player Country Club has also evolved. Strategic and aesthetic upgrades have enhanced the course layout, making it more challenging for players and more exhilarating for spectators. These enhancements ensure that both seasoned golfers and newcomers continue to experience the world-class standard the course is known for.

Your Championship Experience Awaits

As we celebrate this remarkable recognition, our pride lies not only in the award itself but in what it represents: decades of heritage, innovation, and commitment to excellence. We look forward to welcoming guests, from passionate golfers to families and leisure travellers, to test their skill on our championship course and enjoy the energy, sophistication, and unique ambience of Sun City Hotel.

Here’s to more milestones, more memorable stays, and more triumphant moments at South Africa’s Best Golf Hotel 2025.
