A wide variety of quality championship golf courses means that any KwaZulu Natal golf holiday will provide a good challenge for both the professional and amateur golfers. 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. The Durban Country Club course has been carved into the sand dunes and is a semi-links golf course. This course is no pushover, and becomes an extreme challenge when the onshore winds really blow.
- Wild Coast Sun Country Club – Rated as one of the best courses in Southern Africa, this course is a must on any KwaZulu Natal golf holiday. This awesome golf course has become a fixture on the South African Sunshine Tour. This immaculate golf course is designed over some spectacular rugged terrain, and carts are compulsory. 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.
