Designer: Peter Matkovich
Length: 18 holes, 6 324 m
Par: 72
Featured Hole: 18th – One of the best short par 4s in the country, known for its unique challenge and picturesque scenery. Only a long confident drive will carry the river to get close to the green on the other side.
De Zalze Golf Course offers a varying range of holes, tranquil scenery, and superb conditioning. The fairways are generously wide, yet the approaches to greens require precise shot-making. Water hazards, an array of risk-and-reward par 5s, and on 17th, there is a small ravine formed by the river in front of the green. Table Mountain stands as a distant, yet imposing backdrop.

Featured Hole: 17th – one of the most daunting tee shots in the Cape, over the crest of a ridge with a fence on the right separating the estate from a nature reserve. The fairway is framed by pine trees on the left and out of bounds on the right
