Destination Golf Global (Spring 2020) * | Page 53

Royal Port Alfred Royal St.Andrews Hotel Fancourt Links Santon Sun Golf Tours (www.mauritiusgolftours.com), offer various golf rounds’ packages. These include the High Season Pass, which allows golfers to choose from five fabulous golf courses and tailor make the perfect rounds’ package for their vacation. Tosgo Sun, Africa’s leading hospitality group, will be a key element in the facilitation of the various tours and packages. Wherever there is no hotel on site, Tsogo Sun can provide an accommodation solution. With its mix of hotel types, which ranges from three star units to resorts and top five star city centre and coastal hotel properties, Tsogo Sun does offer an option and location to suit almost every pocket. As it so happens, I am writing this edition of the column, from one of my personal favourite hotels in the Tsogo Sun Group – the Sandton Sun. It is one of a pair of hotels (the other being the Sandton Towers) connected to each other which adjoin the Sandton City Shopping Centre. The views, from the 18th floor window of my suite, across the treetops (Johannesburg is reckoned to be one of the largest man made suburban forests in the world) and on to the distant Magaliesberg Mountains (my home turf) is superb. The hotel’s location is fantastic, but therein lies a danger – principally to your credit card! When you walk out of the hotel’s business class reception facility, on the 6th floor, you are in the shopping centre and the first corridor is named ‘Diamond Walk’. This moniker is very appropriate as it houses all the world’s top designer brands from Jimmy Choo to Gucci. My embattled wallet always seems to breathe an audible sigh of relief when we make it through this section of the mall, without it being taken from my pocket!
