Best Time to Visit
Early mornings on weekends (7am to 10am) offer the best conditions with cooler temperatures and less wind. Weekday afternoons are quieter for practice sessions. South African autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) provide mild weather perfect for learning.

Seasonal Notes
Golf is playable year-round in Gauteng's mild climate. Summer months (December to February) bring afternoon thunderstorms, so morning tee times are best. School holiday periods (December, April, July) see increased junior program enrollment, so book early.
