Renovation Year
While not exceptionally long, the course demands precision with tree-lined fairways and water hazards that come into play on several holes, challenging golfers to strategize each shot carefully. The course was substantially upgraded in 2010 under the guidance of South African golf course architects Mark Wiltshire and Mark Muller, who implemented a new irrigation system, reconfigured bunker placements, and enhanced the green surrounds to modernize the playing experience.
Among the notable holes, the par-4 6th stands out, requiring a well-placed tee shot to navigate the narrow fairway flanked by mature trees, followed by an accurate approach to a guarded green. The par-5 7th hole offers a risk-reward scenario, tempting long hitters to reach the green in two shots, but with water hazards and bunkers strategically positioned to penalize errant attempts. The back nine features the par-3 14th hole, where the tee shot must carry over a section of the Nchanga Stream to a well-protected green, testing both distance control and nerve.
The course is open year-round and offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate golfers of all skill levels, from the championship White tees at 7,545 yards to the more forgiving Red tees at 6,214 yards.
