San Lameer Golf Club Golfplatz Südafrika

Der San Lameer Golf Club liegt in der Nähe von Durban an der Küste KwaZulu-Natals und ist Teil eines 163ha großen Estates. Das ganze Areal ist ein Naturschutzgebiet mit reicher Vogelwelt, die Vegetation besteht aus Palmen, wilden Bananen, Bougainvillen und dem für die Region typischen Buschwerk. Eine hügelige Landschaft mit vielen Seen, Wasserfällen und Bächen.

Der Platz befindet sich in einem herausragenden Zustand. Die weiten Fairways mit hausgroßen roten Felsblöcken als Hindernisse sind perfekt in die hügelige Landschaft integriert. Die enorm grossen Grüns sind schnell, von Breaks durchzogen und von Bunkern bewacht. Beim Spiel sollte man auf den Wind achten, der hier immer ins Spiel kommt. Besonders gelungen ist das 13. Loch, ein Par 3 mit einem Inselgrün.

Der Platz für Spieler aller Spielstärken geeignet, da vier verschiedene Tees zur Verfügung stehen und somit jeder die Wahl hat, sich für die richtige Länge zu entscheiden. Die richtige Strategie entscheidet hier über ein gutes Ergebnis, da man an fast jedem Loch die Möglichkeit hat, entweder defensiv und sicher, oder aber aggressiv und riskant zum Erfolg zukommen.

Der Golfclub San Lameer gehört sicher zu den schönsten Plätzen des Landes.

San Lameer is a conservation haven with 195 different bird species, abundant wildlife - including impala, red, gray and blue duiker, reedbuck and bushbuck - and indigenous fauna and flora. Add to this a subtropical climate, the Indian Ocean and, of course, a championship golf course and you have a golfer's paradise where Eagles and Birdies of all kind abound.

Set in the heart of this unique natural environment, San Lameer offers you everything you would include in a dream course. Eighteen memorable holes that weave a natural challenge through the open glades, forest and wetlands with the relaxed roar of the Indian Ocean cheering you on.

Enjoy a demanding round of golf on the 18 hole championship golf course designed by Peter Matkovich and Dale Hayes or a more relaxed 9 holes on the Pitch and Putt course.

The course itself is sculptured around one of the last remaining wetland forests on the South Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal. It was designed to avoid areas of sensitive vegetation and utilizes the indigenous plants and shrubs in the natural features of the course. The club house is recognized as one of the most attractive in South Africa with spectacular views from the spacious terraces surrounding it.

Since the re-opening of San Lameer Estate's upgraded golf course, which just last year had its greens resurfaced, there has been an overwhelmingly positive response. "Since the new, upgraded course opened on the 8th of December last year, we have seen the most rounds being played over the last five years. Looking at the enquiries and bookings over the last three months, it is exceeding our expectations and the course has grown even more in popularity,” comments Schalk Oosthuizen, General Manager, San Lameer Country Club.

And it's all thanks to reputable golf course designer Peter Matkovich and his talented team that the San Lameer Golf Course is now a premium sporting venue to be reckoned with. "The course is progressing very nicely and looking good. The levels are great and the grass has tightened up and is thriving. The greens have matured and the course has progressed far beyond what we even hoped for,” remarks Matkovich.

San Lameer Estate has, for a long time now, been a highly sought after holiday and golf destination for both local and international guests looking for spectacular beaches and a variety of activities. "Our greens renovations project has brought the standard of our golf course on par with what everybody would expect from a typical Matkovich designed course and the layout and quality of our parklands course has again attracted many visitors from all over South Africa and abroad over the last 2-3 months,” says Andries Brink, President of San Lameer Country Club and Chairman of the Home Owners Association.

Now, the upgraded golf course will ensure that San Lameer Estate yet again not only meets the ambition of being a preferred golf destination, but with all of its other facilities within a high security environment it also offers vacationers from all walks of life the ideal holiday.
