Sun City has confirmed that both resort courses will be closed after a storm wrecked havoc in North West.
The Gary Player Country Club – venue of the Nedbank Golf Challenge – was badly affected by the storm, with officials revealing that the bridge on the fourth hole was washed away. At this stage, the course will be closed for 48 hours before reassessing playability.
The greens have indentations following the hail storm.
Social media has been abuzz, with videos showing the flooded clubhouse.

‘The pump house at GPGC is completely flooded up to roof height – damaging pumps and the main DB boards,’ the resort said in a statement.
The Lost City is expected to be open for play on Monday.
