The De Zalze Golf Course was designed by Peter Matkovich (course architect for both Leopard Rock and Arabella) who has made the most of this stunning setting and created a course that places a premium on accuracy. De Zalze Golf Course is the first course in the world to be awarded Fair Trade in Tourism certification.

The course has an excellent mix of parkland holes with its main defenses coming from the water features on several of the holes as well as the oak tree lined Blaauwklippen River which winds its way through the golf estate and comes into play at various intervals.
