Eshowe Hills ☆ Follow

The golf course at Eshowe Hills Country Club was opened in 1907, it is now one of the oldest clubs in South Africa still playing on the original site. The "new" course was designed by the legendary Bob Grimsdell in the 1950's and has since been upgraded by European Masters Champion and multiple tournament winner, Jeff Hawkes. The 18 hole par 72 course itself is short in length at 5733m. Set in the heart of Zululand, Eshowe is the oldest town of European settlement.

Located on the edge of Dhlinza Forest, famous for its vast array of birdlife, the club has enjoyed magnificent views since its inception in 1907. The emerald hills that surround the club are spliced by myriad estuaries that ensure the fairways are well nourished and kept in tip top shape all year round. The course has 5 water features and a boardwalk which takes golfers and golf carts from tee to green on the 8th to a height of 5 meters through the forest canopy, a spectacular feature unique in Southern Africa. Great care has been taken to keep the "Grimsdell character" of the course.
