Very good and spectacular golf course. You will see apes and antelopes on the course. Usually wide and inviting holes. Recommend to all kind of players.

Zimbali is a private member’s club just north of Durban on the east coast of South Africa. As someone who grew up in Durban it has always been on my wishlist to play and very glad to be able to have come and done so because it is a beautiful course a stone’s throw from the coast.


Word of warning, it is a very secure estate so make sure you have your pincode for the day to be able to enter, it took a good 20 minutes of calling and trying to get through to be able to get into the estate and make our way to the course.


The course itself is a lovely design and a pretty tough test. Being so close to the coast it is quite prone to strong winds, especially the 5th hole, a downhill par 3 where you can play directly into the wind or it comes slightly across. The green is protected by water towards the back and by bush near the front, a very tricky hole with stunning views of the Indian Ocean in the background.


Throughout the remainder of the course you work your way up and down the contours of the Zimbali estate with plenty of bush on either side of the fairways and water in some places as well. The fairways are generous enough to not make it too daunting but on a windy day you can lose plenty of balls into the bush.


Halfway around there is the typical South African, halfway house with plenty of food and drink, a compulsory stop in this part of the world and a welcome respite from the hot and humid Durban climate.


The facilities are good, there is a driving range as well as short game practice area. The pro shop has a great variety of goods and the restaurant is in a lovely setting. It is a cart only course, wouldn’t recommend even attempting to walk in that heat and for about R800 including a cart I’d say it’s pretty good value. Apart from our debacle at the gate the hospitality was pretty good overall.

Wat een schitterende ervaring om deze baan te spelen! Ontvangst heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Practice faciliteiten OK. Rental clubs OK, mooi op de buggy geplaatst en daar gingen we naar hole 1. Het design van deze baan is uitmuntend en zodoende geef ik voor de allereerste keer een 10? je krijgt echt het gevoel dat je bij iedere hole alleen op de baan bent. Iedere hole is een pareltje en geen op en weer holes op deze baan. Het onderhoud is uitstekend en overal zijn de greenkeepers (vrouwen en mannen) aan de slag. TEE boxen prima, bunkers uitstekend en zand kwaliteit perfect, greens snel en moeilijk, fairways top en uit de rough blijf je beter uit. De par 4’s zijn vaak lang en moeilijk. Par 5’s zijn juweeltjes! Lange par3’s met greens goed omringd door bunkers vragen veel precisie. Bij sommige holes krijg je een prachtig zicht op de oceaan er bovenop. Je speelt tussen schitterende villa’s, geef je ogen de kost. Na afloop lekker gegeten op het fraaie terras, wijnen zijn lekker en de cappuccino overheerlijk. Als je in de buurt van Durban bent is deze baan niet te missen!

Zeer mooie baan, alles zag er zeer verzorgd uit. Mooi aangelegd en vooral de 2e 9 uitdagend. Personeel halfway house super vriendelijk en hadden plezier in hun werk. Zongen zelfs voor ons.


Gaan zeker nog een keer terug!

Course flag18 holes

Being an eco-conscious golf course and estate, the Zimbali’s tee boxes are often situated in slightly tricky positions to avoid environmental disturbances. The first eleven holes take you over rolling hills, which present ideal vantage points from which to enjoy the magnificent views. Thereafter, holes twelve to eighteen explore the Zimbali indigenous forest. The designer of the Zimbali course is Former South African PGA and British Open champion, Tom Weiskopf. The golf course openend on 7 November 1998 and the course can be categorised as a hybrid course: a links and coastal forest course.
