Beautifull layout and the wildlife on the course in not shabby either (in one round we saw Giraffe, impala, warthoggs, hippo's, crocodiles and to many different bird species to mention. The course is in reasonable condition - I spoke to some members and apparently they had problems with water (broken water pumps) a coupleof months ago which knocked the condition of the course. It is almost back to what it should be. I would love to go back and play it again in six to twelve months time. There is alot of challenging holes and you have to think your way through the course. Well worth it to rather walk the course than use a cart as it is a great walk and you appreciate the scenery and wildlife even more. The 17th hole is an absalute gem over a dam with hippos and crocs lurking and one of the most beautifull short holes onany SA course. The course poses a good challenge to even low handicappers whilst a high handicapper can still enjoy it. There is a few risk reward par 5 holes where you can go for it in two risking landing in the water. A must play course for any keen SA golfer. Proshop is a tad overpriced as is the meals at the restaurant/halfwayhouse. The drinks is well priced at the bar and even the drinks cart bringing you drinks on the course. There is some upgrading and renovations on the go to the entrances, buildings, etc. which should make the facilities even more impressive. I will be back in years time for sure! ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:48:19 +0100 445-529 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/61-limpopo-golf-courses/445-zebula-country-club.html In my Zebula Country Club Golf Course review I found the ease of booking the round to be very good and the accessibility of the course was also good. I felt welcomed when I arrived and found getting around the course to be easy. I rated the availability of caddies as 9 out of 10 and the Changing rooms and Pro shop were both equally fantastic. The practice range and putting green were both very good and the course is set in a great area with beautiful scenery surrounding it. I had a timely tee off and had a brilliant speed of play throughout the round. The tees and fairways were great and so was the greens along with the superb course bunkering and course yardage marking all around the course. The club house is excellent and the design of the course presents a nice challenge for those who play this course. In summary for my Zebula Country Club Golf Course Review I really enjoyed playing this course and the value for money is great. ]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2011 09:39:00 +0100 437-526 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/61-limpopo-golf-courses/437-elements-golf-club.html In my Elements Golf Course Review I found booking the round easy and the accessibility of the course was also fair.

The practice facilities is world class. Booking as well as tee off times are well organised and managed. The course is in great condition. Elements presents a true test of golf. We played from the back tees and the course makes you think on every shot - you can not just blast from the tee with a driver everytime. Course is very challenging and if you miss fairways on the wrong place you might as well reload from the tee. The fairways are in excelent conditions and the greens are the best I have played on to date. They are true, fast (11 on the day we played) and receptive. All the par fives are a true test of your golf abilities and the scenery and layout often leaves you feeling as if youre fourball is the only one playing on the course even though the course was quite busy. Nineteenth hole as well as half way house was very good and the view from the clubhouse bar area over the course is fantastic. I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone who is in the area to make the effort. Only drawback was getting there. The road to Elements Golf Course out of Bela Bela is fine when it is tarred, but when you hit the dirt road it is not good at all. Watch out if your vehicle has not got proper ground clearance or if it has been raining. ]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 09:18:28 +0100 437-439 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/61-limpopo-golf-courses/437-elements-golf-club.html Excellent greens and layout True test of golf, especially from the back tees Not over crowded like Zebula ]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 07:16:35 +0000 437-85 http://www.rateyourcourse.co.za/component/content/article/61-limpopo-golf-courses/437-elements-golf-club.html Awesome course True greens Great par 5's Each hole is surrounded by bush, feels like you are alone on course!

The greens are very true and a well struck putt will find the back of the hole everytime. The designer has used the contours of the land pretty well and the course probably favours the hitters of a draw. ]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:47:43 +0100
