Golf in South Africa: Golf Courses
As one of the most rapidly expanding sports , golf is already on the African renaissance track , and in this part of Africa , namely the Kwazulu Natal South Coast of South Africa , there are plenty , unique locations in which to play golf. Scottburgh Golf Club is one of these.....
This undulating golf course has a most attractive setting with the sight and sounds of the Indian Ocean always in the background. Comparatively short at 5323 metres , it boats two par 5`s and five spectacular par 3 holes , with the par 4 third hole being the most talked about hole on the course. It has the narrowest of fairways with out of bounds on the right and a coastal forest on the left to contend with.
Many a good round of golf has been destroyed on this "white knuckle hole". Like all coastal golf courses , Scottburgh can become quite tricky in the wind but one of the most spectacular shots is from the par 4 - 18 th , where one files the drive over towering trees , into the wild blue yonder to hopefully drop onto the fairway below.
