The De Zalze Golf Course situated within the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate was designed by Peter Matkovich who has made the most of the stunning setting and created a course that places a premium on accuracy. The course has an excellent mix of parkland holes with its main defences 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.
Lifestyle Golf Shop has a large range of golf attire and golf accessories, a selection of golf clubs as well as gift items and golf estate 'homeware', are available for purchase. [Click here] to read more about golf at Kleine Zalze.
