Golf in Durban & The North Coast
It is not surprising that the Zulu Kingdom occupies the position of South Africa's top Holiday destination - miles of pristine sandy beaches, all year round summer and a long list of excellent championship courses makes it hard to beat choosing KZN as your golf destination.
Our championship golf choices offer you Tom Weiskopf's Zimbali set in the pristine indigenous Zimbali Forest, a setting described as both dramatic & stunning. Secondly, we have included the highly acclaimed Princes Grant - a true test of coastal golf with unsurpassed ocean views. Thirdly, Durban Country Club - consistently one of SA Top 3 courses - need we say more.
These are just a wee taste of the quality of golf available in the area - please enquire for further options to include Beachwood, Mount Edgecombe, Royal Durban, Selborne, Wild Coast and even Champagne Sports Resort or why not extend your golf programme with a safari experience at the Hluhlwe/iMfolozi National Park.
