General Course Information
Area and Setting
Located in Pretoria East, Woodhill occupies gently rolling terrain with views toward the city’s eastern skyline. The course is part of an upscale residential estate that blends open space, safety and manicured natural landscaping. Wide fairways framed by mature trees and subtle water features give the course a welcoming yet sophisticated feel.
The estate environment is peaceful and exclusive, suited to players who value quality presentation and private ambience. The clubhouse is elegant, with panoramic terraces and full dining facilities ideal for post-round relaxation.
Layout and Signature Holes
Peter Matkovich’s design makes use of gentle elevation changes and water to shape strategy throughout the round. The par-3 12th hole, played from an elevated tee across water to a protected green, is especially scenic and memorable. The routing flows naturally through the estate, providing both challenge and walkable enjoyment.
Best Time of Year for a Round
Pretoria’s climate makes Woodhill playable year-round. Winter (May–September) offers clear skies and firm conditions, while summer (October–March) is warm and lush with occasional afternoon showers. Early tee times are recommended in summer to avoid heat and rain.
