Serengeti Estates - Whistling Thorn

The Whistling Thorn 18-hole Par 3 Championship Golf Course – a first in South Africa – is the perfect blend between tradition and revolution. The Course is fast paced and contemporary in nature, as well as being environmentally conscious – residents and visitors have essentially been presented with a brand-new course to conquer or be conquered by!

This is a unique 18-hole championship Par 3 course. It’s a stunning creation by Dino de Abreu, partially carved around attractive wetlands. There are five different tee options, and from the pro tees it measures 3268 meters, or an average of 182 meters per hole. The middle blue tees are a more manageable 2514 meters (average 140 meters). Two or three holes resemble short par 4s from the back, and each nine has a really short par 3.
