Pro golfer Ernie Els, who has a professional career of 76 international PGA victories, plays a shot at Zimbali Lakes Resort where his signature golf course is being developed.
Set in the amazing highveld views of Ballito, Zimbali Lakes poses a must play for any avid golfer in South Africa and abroad. I got the opportunity to play this classy layout designed by Ernie Els on my short return to home soil.
While it is shorter in length than your normal Par 72 courses, it’s a mighty challenge and requires shot making and club choice if you want to keep your ball in play.
Opened just over a year ago, Zimbali Lakes is a gem of International standard. The "Big easy" gave this design some vision for shots and approaches.
Playing this course for the first time I was very tempted to go with the driver on many holes to try and get my birdies. This proved not the case as my short game lacked the pro standard on the day.
