Golf Digest has rated Zimbali as one of South Africa’s top 5 golfing experiences, primarily thanks to the amazing character and setting of its championship course. Unrivaled views of the ocean and the surrounding forests, water and wetland set the scene for Zimbali’s golf course, which was founded in 1998.
Zimbali Country Club
The layout was mapped by the great Tom Weiskopf, whose brief was not only to create a fantastic course, but one which also adapted sympathetically to the astounding natural environment.
The course at Zimbali tops out over 7,000 yards from the tips, and with a par of 73, it is a formidable test for even the most talented players – a certain highlight of any golf holiday around Durban and KwaZulu Natal.
