The Best Conference Venues With Golf Courses In Africa
With South Africa boasting some of the finest golf courses on earth — many of which also offer first-class conference facilities and luxury accommodation — you would be hard-pressed to find a reason not to come. Picture it: brainstorming and boardroom sessions in the morning, followed by a round on a world-ranked championship course in the afternoon. Few formats deliver better delegate engagement, and fewer still send your team home happier. It could well be the ideal business breakaway.
At Uyaphi.com we tailor-make every golfing getaway to suit your group's requirements, ability levels and budget. And while the courses listed below are all located in South Africa, they represent only a small portion of what we can arrange. Our portfolio extends right across Southern and Eastern Africa — imagine hosting your conference within sight of Victoria Falls, then hitting your tee shot with zebra and antelope grazing alongside the fairway. These are the kinds of unforgettable African golfing experiences we arrange for teams, clients and incentive groups every year.
Whatever the size of your group and whatever your handicap, we'll build the perfect corporate golf programme around you.
Business by Morning, Championship Golf by Afternoon — Africa's Finest Golf Conference Estates
Lost City Golf Course
This is, without a doubt, a truly unique and spectacular golfing experience. The breathtaking views of the bushveld stretch out before you, creating an atmosphere that is nothing short of extraordinary. The desert-style design is exceptional, with the striking contrast between the lush, green fairways and the rugged, untamed surrounding bush creating a visual spectacle that is sure to leave a lasting impression. This is a course that has to be seen to be believed, and one that will undoubtedly appeal to golfers and nature lovers alike.
Wild Coast Country Club
The Wild Coast Sun Country Club is a rugged beauty of a course. It presents a daunting challenge to professionals and amateurs alike, yet its wide fairways and generous greens welcome golfers of all levels. Perhaps the greatest test is conquering the prevailing coastal winds and the humidity of subtropical KwaZulu-Natal.
Pezula Golf Estate
A sweeping spectacle of fairways and greens rolling through the pristine Southern Cape landscape. Designed by David Dale and Ronald Fream, this 18-hole course rates among the most scenic in the world, with clifftop holes overlooking the Indian Ocean that few courses anywhere can match.
Selborne Golf Estate
Some call Selborne the most spectacular 18 holes in Southern Africa. The wild coastal forest of southern KwaZulu-Natal frames a superbly manicured course where the only disturbance may be one of nature's creatures wandering across your line. The elegant clubhouse offers both a bar and comfortable lounge area.
Prince's Grant Golf Estate
The magnificent 18-hole championship course at Prince's Grant provides a wonderful challenge for golfers of all abilities. Spectacular coastal scenery with the ocean as a backdrop complements the immaculate grooming of this Peter Matkovich-designed course, named Best Golf Development in Africa by the World Property Awards.
Bushman Sands Golf Course
Designed by South African golfing legend Gary Player, this spectacular 18-hole championship course is without a doubt one of the finest golfing experiences you'll find anywhere. Winding along the scenic banks of the Bushmans and New Years Rivers, it beautifully echoes the game's earliest Scottish "links" courses, complete with dramatically undulating fairways and classic pot bunkers that will challenge even the most seasoned golfer. To top it all off, a exceptional 4-star hotel and spa are on hand to ensure your stay is as relaxing and luxurious as possible.
Fancourt Golf Estate
There is no doubt that Fancourt is South Africa's premier golf resort, featuring three highly rated championship courses as well as the Western Cape's finest public course. Set across 550 hectares of lush, superbly landscaped countryside, it enjoys the majestic Outeniqua Mountains as its backdrop — and regularly hosts tournaments of international standing.
Hans Merensky Golf Course
Bordering the world-famous Kruger National Park near the Phalaborwa Gate, this is golf like nowhere else. Elephants, antelope, giraffe, warthog and even big cats are regularly seen on and around the course. Designed by Robert Grimsdell, it offers 18 holes and a par of 74 — and quite possibly the most unusual "playing hazards" in world golf.
Arabella Golf Club
Without a doubt, Arabella is one of the top golf courses in the Western Cape. This spectacular layout stretches through rolling fairways, deceptive bunkers, and challenging water traps, all sitting on the banks of the breathtaking Bot River lagoon, fringed by beautiful indigenous fynbos. Designed by the talented Peter Matkovich, this exceptional 18-hole course boasts a par of 73, offering golfers a truly memorable and rewarding experience.
Zimbali Golf Course
Zimbali Country Club is without a doubt one of the most spectacular golf courses you'll ever play. Boasting breathtaking ocean and forest views, exceptional water and wetland features, and a truly inspiring natural setting, this course exudes genuine charisma and challenge. Masterfully designed by the legendary Tom Weiskopf, the 18-hole, par-72 layout is a testament to his extraordinary talent, making it an absolute must-play for any serious golfer.
