Enjoy pensioner discounts at 30 golf clubs around South Africa 🏌️‍♀️

Golf is a lot like fruit cake 🍰 – people either love it or they’d rather not. In my family, it’s firmly in the “love it” camp: my husband and young daughter enjoy a good round, and my sister (and co-founder of Pensioners Pay Less) is also a fan. And even if you’re not the one swinging the club, a day on the course still delivers – fresh air, gorgeous views, a bit of exercise if you walk, and plenty of chatting along the way. We’ve rounded up 30 golf clubs across South Africa offering pensioner discounts – from memberships to green fees – so you can enjoy the fairway for less.

How music can support you at the end of life

If you’ve ever had a song hit the first note and suddenly you’re right back there – a road trip, a dance floor, a kitchen singalong – you’ll get why this matters. Britta explains how music can support someone near the end of life – not by fixing anything, but by helping with comfort, memory, and those moments of connection that still count. 🎶

A game to remember!

If you want a round that’s more than just 18 holes, these four pensioner deals stand out: Skukuza Golf Club is inside the Kruger National Park – so yes, you can hear (and sometimes spot) wildlife while you play 🐘 ; Maritzburg Golf Club says it’s the oldest golf club in South Africa (founded in 1886) – perfect for a bit of bragging rights; and for golf with a side of something tasty, you can tee off at the wine estates Devonvale and Hazendal – because the only thing better than the 19th hole is one that’s on a wine farm. 🏌️‍♂️🍷
