Tucked deep in the natural coastal forest, Zimbali Country Club is built around the remains of a ruined farmhouse, enveloped by the roots of a beautiful ageing wild fig tree. The luxury contemporary clubhouse is the gathering place for golfers and families of Zimbali Estate to unwind and reconnect at the many social events held here. Sitting on the outdoor deck, members can soak up golf course vistas through the dappled evening forest light, after a great (or gruelling!) game of golf. It is the perfect spot for all Zimbali Country Club members and their families to spend time cooling down or catching up.

The interiors have been designed with wellbeing and touches of luxury in mind. Modern techniques blend seamlessly with classic finish, evident in the carefully-selected décor and fittings in the cloakrooms, through to the colour palette, furnishings and layout of the restaurant areas – both of which offer wonderful service and a variety of appealing menu options. The well-appointed Pro Shop conveniently situated at the clubhouse caters to every golfer’s needs. Zimbali Country Club is an entertaining and vibrant leisure and dining destination that echoes almost 25 years of tradition, while sparking joy through celebrations and human connections.

Course Overview

Being an eco-conscious golf course and estate, 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 our course is former South African PGA and British open champion Tom Weiskopf.

The course was founded on 7 November 1998 and is a hybrid category being both a Links and Coastal Forest 18 Hole Course
