Not long but a fantastic layout that offers a little something for all good and bad golfers ]]> Wed, 04 May 2011 11:27:19 +0100 549-500 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/54-free-state-golf-courses/549-vaal-de-grace-golf-estate.html From my Golf Course Review of the Vaal de Grace Golf Estate I can confirm that it is probably one of the best courses I have ever played on. The course is in almost perfect condition. The greens are top quality and well maintained. Pity about some damage to a couple of the greens - looks like some impala or the like must have come from the adjacent Nature Estate and damaged two of the greens slightly. If not for that I would have rated the greens 10 out of 10. Greens are a fantastic pace and very receptive. Course is a challenge to all types of golfers without being either to easy or to difficult. We had golfers from 36 handicap to single handicappers in our fourball and everyone enjoyed the challenges the course posed. Course is open with wide fairways, but a lot of strategic bunkers both on the fairways and close to the greens. Facilities are top class and the course should be quite high on anyone's "must play" list. No problems booking at the Vaal De Grace Golf Estate and person at pro shop very friendly and helpfull. ]]> Tue, 03 May 2011 10:48:08 +0100 459-394 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/54-free-state-golf-courses/459-hoopstad-golf-club.html This course is typical of the Kameeldoring trees you find here. Course puts the natural landscape to full use. ]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2010 07:32:10 +0000 549-88 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/54-free-state-golf-courses/549-vaal-de-grace-golf-estate.html No marshalls to monitor speed of play Unfriendly person at pro shop Very challenging and exciting golf course ]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:55:40 +0000
