The Legend Golf and Safari Resort consists of an exceptional golf course with a luxury estate as well as facilities where wildlife and spectacular landscapes are all part of an intended lifestyle.
The design and layout of the Resort has been done in a way that minimizes the impact of the development on the natural environment. It preserves the pristine bushveld and makes the Resort one of the most environmentally sensitive of its kind in Africa.
The course has flowing fairways which wind through the open grasslands and dense bush, gently undulating greens and strategic bunkering and it offers breathtaking views of the Waterberg mountains.
"The uniqueness of Legend Golf and Safari Resort is reflected in the spectacular Extreme 19th hole which is the longest and most dramatic Par 3 in the world.
Set high up on the impressive Hanglip Mountain and accessible only by helicopter, this par 3 hole measures 830 metres from tee to green and is played from a vertical height of 430 metres. After a short, breathtaking helicopter flight, golfers have the opportunity of teeing off from one of three tee boxes, high up on the escarpment. With advanced technology in the form of four separate cameras and the latest tracking equipment, the golfer can follow and capture the tee shot and the flight of the ball."
