Zimbali Lodge Hotel overlooks the incredible Indian Ocean and is surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful indigenous gardens. This 5-Star boutique hotel offers five-star luxury accommodation, and is decorated to complement the natural surrounding forest - the classical architecture is accentuated by warm wood and russet autumn tones.

The Championship Golf Course at Prince's Grant is rated in the top 20 in the country, and offers an inspirational golfing experience that is both challenging and fair. A blend of links and parkland, the course is undulating with the sloping fairways of the high ground, contrasting with the sheltered holes in the valleys. The high vantage points of several tees lead onto cunning use of water features and large undulating green.
Located just 80 km north of Durban, near Stanger, in the heart of sugar cane country, in the tradition of the links golf courses in old Scotland, Princes Grant Estate offers a unique experience to the golfer.

Mount Edgecombe is situated on the rolling hills of Kwazulu-Natal's Dolphin Coast. This majestic setting provides for 360 degrees of spectacular scenery from many aspects of the golf course. The course was designed by the architects: Biocchi, Falkson & Barnard. The course at Mount Edgecombe is the only one in South Africa that has Royal Blue grass from tee to green.
Designed to USGA specifications some of the features of the course is its interesting layout, attractive water features, superb greens and the unforgiving rough that demands accurate golf. The fairways sweep between densely massed pines, tall gum trees and beautiful shrubs.

Situated a few kilometres from its sister course, Durban Country Club, Beachwood is closer to the sea and more subject to the prevailing winds. It is a tight course, characteristed by narrow fairways which will punish any wayward shot. Beware those who play with yellow balls: the Vervet monkeys are known to be accomplished thieves!

This course is one of 2 at the Country Club complex, the other being Beachwood. Durban Country Club course overlooks the Blue Lagoon estuary, and has hosted 16 South Africa Open tournaments, more than any other course in South Africa. This parkland course is practically in the centre of Durban, yet provides a challenging test of golf, with views of the Indian Ocean from elevated points.

Tom Weiskopf - former British & South African Open Golf Champion - has designed a golf course which will challenge players of all handicaps in the most delightful surroundings.
Tom Wieskopf had this to say: "The character of the property is one that I'd describe as having an abundance of natural features which include constant changes in elevation, a combination of mature indigenous trees and vegetation and some beautiful wetland areas with natural steams and ponds, all creating a dramatic and beautiful setting."

The Royal Durban Golf Club is spread out over a flat piece of ground in the middle of Greyville racecourse, where fortunes have been won and lost in South Africa's premier horse race, the Durban July.
With few trees and little definition, Royal Durban looks featureless at first glance, but it would be a mistake to prejudge it as boring. Anyone who has played Royal Durban will testify that the touch of a master's hand is clearly present in the design of the course and the challenge it offers the golfer.

Selborne Hotel, Spa and Golf Estate - a stately manor house surrounded by indigenous coastal forest, is the tranquil setting of this luxury golf estate, hotel and health spa, close to the warm Indian Ocean and near Durban in South Africa. A private beach club is a few sandy footsteps to the beach. A variety of gourmet options awaits you, with fine dining in Selborne Hotel's elegant restaurant seducing with a fusion of flavours and fine wines, or casual al fresco lunches amidst the ambiance and beauty of surrounding gardens and trees. Relax and enjoy pizza in the coffee bar or on the terrace. Wines from South Africa's established estates and from some of the new boutique wineries fill Selborne Hotel's cellar to complement the fine menu.
Selborne Hotel was created in 1985 when Denis Barker was inspired to turn his dairy stud farm into the first golf estate in South Africa. His intent was clear - preserve the rich flora and fauna surrounding the manor house. Today, this sprawling Victorian architectural statement is the centrepiece of a family run retreat. Woven around the natural rock and contours and verdant indigenous coastal forest - home to Duiker, Mongoose, Bushbuck and over 160 bird species - Selborne Hotel offers unequalled natural beauty and tranquility.

Since completion in 1987, the golf course has matured into one of the most aesthetically attractive in South Africa. On 14 holes water hazards come into play, calling for good and precise iron shots. The greens are fast and contoured, requiring a sensitive putting touch. It's a strenuous test of your golfing ability. From the championship tees the course is 6040 m long and has Par 72. E-Cart, trolleys or caddies are for hire.

For a game that will really put your skills to the test, you've got to play the Wild Coast Golf Course, rated as one of the best courses in Southern Africa. There are 6 par threes but two of these don't have fairways from tee to green! Just lined gorges and on the 13th, a waterfall. And the shot on the twelfth (par five) is one of the most spectacular shots you are ever likely to play. Although the course is 5800m in length, the walk is more like eight kilometers, so be prepared to take up to 6 hours for your game.

Southbroom has a tough and tight layout through lush coastal bush and offers spectacular sea and surf views from some tees. Established as a nine hole course in 1939 it was extended to eighteen holes in 1948. The course winds its way through the village and down to the sea. The short par 3 fourth hole is part of the sand dune that protects this magnificent coast line and on rare occasions you can watch the dolphins play or a whale bask in the warm Indian Ocean currents.

This is a golfers dream in a 163 hectare nature conservation area with its many water features making it one of the most picturesque courses in Southern Africa. Designed by Peter Matkovitch, this course can be a bit intimidating to the higher handicap golfer, especially when the wind is blowing and adventurous shots can end up in a watery grave.

Peter Matkovich recently upgraded all 18 greens whilst this course underwent the change from golf course to golf estate. A dramatic parkland course, which, being near to the sea, often has the wind as an additional challenge. The signature par 3 holes on this course are spectacular, each one punishing a wayward tee-shot. With its tee-box on the highest point of the course, the 18th hole, makes for a memorable end to a testing round of golf.

Phinda Private Game Reserve is situated in the lush KwaZulu Natal region in northern South Africa. Sandwiched between Mkuze Game Reserve and the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park (a World Heritage Site), it comprises 14 000 hectares (34 000 acres) of prime conservation land.
Seven distinct habitats shelter an abundance of wildlife including Africa’s Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo) and over 380 bird species, while the marine diversity off the nearby coast of Sodwana is said to rival the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Phinda Private Game Reserve is home to an incredible diversity of mammals. Predators like cheetah, leopard and lion are tracked on a daily basis and visitors stand extremely good chances of seeing them.
The territorial white rhino favour waterholes and wallows. Herds of elephant and buffalo move throughout the reserve and are easily spotted. Impressive nyala antelope feed alongside impala and warthog.
After the game drives during the day, Phinda's four lodges offer accommodation in sophistication and style in the African bush. The Mountain, Forest, Vlei and Rock Lodges each comprise luxury suites, swimming pools and fine dining combined with decks and viewing points from which to experience the bush from the comfort of your lodge.

The De Zalze Golf Course situated within the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate was designed by Peter Matkovich (course architect for both Leopard Rock and Arabella) who has made the most of the stunning setting and created a course that places a premium on accuracy.
The course has an excellent mix of parkland holes with its main defences coming from the water features on several of the holes as well as the Oak tree lined Blaauwklippen River which winds its way through the golf estate and comes into play at various intervals.
