Description
"Umdoni Golf Course has a considerable reputation in Kwa-zulu Natal, being regarded as breathtakingly beautiful and hugely pleasurable to play.
It's 18 holes over truly striking terrain running had alongside the sea and, on the back nine, stretching inland through dense indigenous forest vegetation. Umdoni park is anything but flat and its elevation changes not only translate into an adventure of judgement and shotmaking but provides any number of "viewsite moments". On a fine day, lush fairways underfoot and with the ocean swells just breaking into whitecaps, a round at Umdoni is food for the soul - this is how golf is meant to be."
