Simbithi Eco-Estate is proud to announce the completion of an 18-hole executive Golf Course that commenced on the 1st of May 2005. This exquisite and eco-sensitive residential Estate offers first and foremost a unique blend of large spacious plots, open spaces, grass lands, dams and indigenous coastal forest. "To provide all this, combined with a truly exclusive lifestyle that encompasses a full blend of activities and facilities to Simbithi Eco-Estate residents, the decision was made to include an 18 hole Executive Golf Course”, says Mark Taylor, MD of the eLan Group. Although the Course is complete, it will only be open for play in December, to allow a full growth into pristine conditions.

The original plan was for a 9-hole course. However, due to the exceptional demand experienced for the Simbithi lifestyle since the development was launched in 2003, it was decided to enhance the Simbithi Eco-Estate offering by extending the golf course, by adding another nine holes. A variety of dams, bunkers and water features will be incorporated into this final phase of Simbithi Eco-Estate.

The entire course is designed by Peter Matkovitch and will be unique to KwaZulu-Natal, as it will be the only course to offer a truly family golfing experience. According to Peter Matkovitch, the course is designed to test a player’s ability to use all the clubs in their bags on a golf course, which will be constructed in accordance with USGA specifications. The 18-hole course will provide a combination of challenging par 5's and par 3's, and will appeal to the full range of handicap golfers and leisure seekers, whether they are a family on holiday or a resident seeking a few hours of entertainment and exercise.
