Location: South Africa » Kwazulu Natal » Drakensberg » Central DrakensbergChampagne Sports Resort18-hole golf course in Central DrakensbergDescriptionSet against the magnificent backdrop of Champagne and Cathkin Peaks, this course offers the golfer not only a superb challenge of golf on a perfectly manicured layout but also a scenic experience that is reward enough.
The clubhouse is easily accessible from the resort and you have access to motorized golf carts and a well-stocked Pro-Shop. The clubhouse is also equipped with both ladies and gentleman's locker room and a bar, and light meals are served in the golf lounge and on the magnificent verandah which overlooks the golf course and the mountains beyond. THE GREENS:
All the Greens are of the highest quality and are planted with L93 bent-grass which have proven extremely suitable for the region, particularly in winter where the greens remain 'green', receptive and true to line.
THE BUNKERS:
The 84 well appointed and well shaped bunkers that line fairways and greens all have white silica sand imported from Bronkhorstspruit and will be appreciated by professional and novice alike for their consistency.
THE FAIRWAYS:
The fairways are all planted with kikuyu grass presenting a wonderful green carpet, further enhancing the beauty of this truly unique South African Golf Course.
THE ROUGH:
Whilst badly misdirected shots will be punished, particularly in the wetlands and at the water holes, fairways are wide, bordered by light rough. Enjoy a lovely stay at the Champagne Holiday Resort. | The 19th Hole | | | Magnificently appointed with a panoramic view looking out over the golf course and beyond to the majestic peaks of Monks Cowl, Champagne and the central Drakensberg, few clubhouses can boast quite what Champagne can. A wooden deck set with tables and chairs and protected from the sun by umbrellas, offers both golfers and non-golfers alike, an ideal platform to view the beauty of the berg and the superb course laid out below.
The clubhouse has both ladies and gents change rooms which are fully equipped with showers, hand basins, toilets and secure lockers. A well stocked Pro-Shop provides for all your golfing needs including a selection of clubs, balls, gloves, shirts, hats and caps, as well as other golf paraphernalia. The halfway house offers a selection of light meals and drinks which can be enjoyed either in the indoor dining area or on the deck.
No Golf clubhouse would be complete without a 19th-Hole, and the 19th at Champagne Golf Course, as with the other areas of the clubhouse, offers superb views. The large, fully stocked pub offers golfers the perfect spot to compare notes on their experiences on this magnificent golf course, and on a winter evening the large fireplace adds a warm glow to the cosy atmosphere. |
