We recommend visiting during the dry winter months, typically May to August, for cooler temperatures and firmer fairways that truly reward good ball striking. The course is beautifully maintained year-round, but these months offer the most comfortable playing weather.

Absolutely, the course is a nature sanctuary; you'll often spot impala, springbok, and a variety of birdlife around the numerous water hazards. It's a fantastic bonus to your round, just remember to keep an eye out for any unexpected spectators on the fairways.

Expect green fees to be mid-range for a championship course in the Gauteng region, offering excellent value for a meticulously maintained layout with abundant wildlife. We find the overall experience, from course condition to the natural setting, makes it a worthwhile investment for any golfer.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Silver Lakes after a round?

The clubhouse offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with stunning views over the 18th green and its namesake lake, perfect for unwinding with a cold drink and discussing your round. We always appreciate the friendly staff and the chance to soak in the beautiful surroundings post-play.
