The Big 5 South African Open 2023

The 4th annual Big 5 South African Open will take place at the superb Magalies Park Country Club. The course lies on the banks of Hartbeespoort Dam and is cradled by the Magaliesberg Mountains, making it some of the most picturesque golf courses in the region.

Magalies Park is one of South Africa's Premier Resorts that has the added bonus of being right in the center of a declared bird sanctuary.

The Big 5 South African Open offers young golfers the opportunity to compete in a multi-day International Partner event and qualify for U.S. Kids Golf Priority Status. By earning different levels of Priority Status, players can qualify for other U.S. Kids Golf Major Championships including Regional, International, and World or World Teen Championships.
