A KwaZulu Natal golf holiday offers the golfer a wide variety of top rated championship golf courses which will challenge the amateur and professional alike. Any KwaZulu Natal golf holiday should include the following courses:
- Durban Country Club – The top ranked golf course in KwaZulu Natal. Opened in 1922, this historic course has hosted the South African Open 14 times. With its dense bush, indigenous trees and undulating fairways it is hard to believe that this spectacular championship course is actually situated in the center of Durban. This semi-links course which has been carved into the sand dunes is no walkover, and really bares its teeth when the a strong onshore wind blows.
- Wild Coast Sun Country Club – This golf course is a must on any KwaZulu Natal Golf holiday as it is rated as one of the best golf courses in Southern Africa. The South African Sunshine Tour includes the Wild Coast as a permanent yearly fixture. Golf carts are compulsory on this immaculate golf course as it has been designed on some spectacular but rugged terrain. Although under 6000 meters, with six par threes, this course is no pushover – especially when the wind blows off the sea.
- Champagne Sports Resort – Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Drakensburg mountains, this perfectly manicured course not only offers the golfer a superb challenge of golf, but also an incredible scenic experience. Although a long course with the longest par five in the country, the high altitude means you will hit your longest ever drives.
