Offering irresistible ocean and forest views, exceptional water and wetland features and an inspiring natural setting, Zimbali Country Club has developed the reputation of a memorable course with charisma and challenge.
With the brief of “conservation takes precedence” international golf course designer and former British and South African PGA champion, Tom Weiskopf, had to integrate a “cart only” course into a property with dramatic elevation changes, varying eco-systems and substantial residential sections. This was no easy task, but the end result is a prestigious course that is ecologically sound, yet it maximizes the natural landscape. Having been described as “an enthralling journey through 18 holes”, the changing terrain stretches the skill yet captivates its participating golfers. With the Weiskopf philosophy of “presenting a fair challenge to any level of play” the essence of this course is that it will reward the good shot and punish the bad.
