Key Information
The Palace of the Lost City sits at the heart of Sun City, about two hours northwest of Johannesburg, and is easily one of the most distinctive golf resorts anywhere in the world. The setting is dramatic—lush landscaping, African bushland, and a sense of scale that feels properly special from the moment you arrive.
Golf is the main draw. Guests have access to two standout courses. The Gary Player Country Club is a championship layout—long, immaculate, and demanding from the back tees, with water in play and slick, well-guarded greens. The Lost City Golf Course is more forgiving and scenic, weaving through bushland with wildlife often visible alongside the fairways. Together, they offer variety and serious quality.
The Palace itself is grand and opulent, but rooms are comfortable rather than over-the-top, with balconies, good-sized bathrooms, and resort views. Dining ranges from relaxed to more formal across the wider Sun City complex, and there’s plenty to do off the course, from pools and spa facilities to bars and evening entertainment. It’s a true golf destination rather than a simple hotel stay.

Expect scale, spectacle, and serious golf at The Palace of the Lost City. Arrival feels memorable, with grand architecture and sweeping grounds setting the tone. Tee times are well organised, and conditioning on both courses is consistently excellent, with fast greens and immaculate fairways.
The Gary Player layout demands commitment, especially into the greens, while the Lost City course offers a more scenic, slightly gentler rhythm. Wildlife sightings are not unusual, which adds something genuinely different to the round. Back at the hotel, service is polished and efficient, and the resort facilities make multi day golf feel effortless rather than tiring.
























For golfers, this is a bucket list combination. You can test yourself on a championship course that has hosted major tournaments, then balance it with a second layout that blends strategy and scenery. Many guests enjoy the contrast between demanding morning rounds and relaxed afternoons by the pool or spa. The atmosphere is bold and energetic, yet everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. It suits golfers who want more than just good golf, they want an experience that feels distinctive and memorable.
