Emperor of Golf

Emperor of Golf is an innovative new approach to the access of information pertaining golf in South Africa. It has come to life as part of the vision formed by a group of experienced golf players who are dedicated to:

• The provision of up to date and accurate information about everything related to golf in South Africa.
• Provision of access to an online booking system where golfers can book for corporate golf events, tournaments and for a few rounds of golf at any of the participating organizers and clubs nationwide.
• One online access portal to discounted golf equipment available at the Golf Trade Centre.
• Making the identification and location of the top golf courses in South Africa available online.
• Providing an online payment system for tee-offs, tournament and club membership fees at any of the nationwide participating clubs.
• Providing an easy to navigate online method for locating information and golf courses through a map system.

The development of golf in South Africa has in recent years received a boost through the establishment of several Golf Estates around the country. Some of the best golf courses are now accessible to the residents in the estates, making it possible to play more regularly.

International visitors to South Africa have already invested large sums in these estates and the development of more world class golf courses. Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els and Ronald Fream have in particular contributed to the design and development of excellent golf courses.

The expansion of the golf industry has necessitated a more accessible medium for bookings and tournament identification. This has led to the revolutionary Emperor of Golf Club offering members privileged access to a wide variety of services, products and information.

International Golf

South African players have made inroads on the international scene with players such Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Gary Player. Our players have shown that their skills compare well with international players. International and European tournaments such as the PGA are now also more accessible to South Africans.

Many of the international tournaments are hosted right here in South Africa at acclaimed golf courses such as the Sun City Golf Course. One of the acclaimed local tours, the so-called Sunshine Tour co-hosts several events with the European PGA. This is one of the reasons why South Africa keeps producing excellent golfers and golf products. Our tournaments have attracted some of the best international players in recent years.

Emperors of Golf Club members have the benefit of selecting and booking for international golf tournaments hosted in South Africa from the comfort of their homes. Up to date information on the tee-off times, rankings, rules and upcoming events are available through our online system.

A golf event worth mentioning is the Sun City Nedbank Challenge, which is the first South African golf tournament to have offered one million USD as the award to the winner. The prize money for 2006 was a staggering $1.2 million for the winner. For obvious reasons the tournament attracts a lot of international players which in turn provides vibrancy to the golf event.

Other equally superb golf events are hosted around the country every year. You as club member of the Emperor of Golf Club have access to these tournaments and can make your bookings online. Apart from this you also get information on the golf courses, clubs and their rules.
