Legends receives World Travel Award
October 5, 2010

Fresh from being hailed Africa's Leading Sports Resort and South Africa's Leading Golf Resort at the 2010 World Travel Awards, Legend Lodges, Hotels & Resorts' flagship property has scooped yet another prestigious global award.

Legend Golf & Safari Resort's world first Signature Golf Course has been named the Best Golf Course in Africa at the World Property Awards in association with Bloomberg.

Designed by 18 of the planet's greatest male golfers, each hole has the vision of a great golfer at its heart.

A Par 72, which begins with South African designer Trevor Immelman, the list of signatures who have been honored to design a hole reads like a who's who of world golf: from Padraig Harrington and Justin Rose to Vijay Singh and Sergio Garcia.

At a five-star presentation dinner in London, England, the championship golf course managed and maintained by Legend Golf & Safari Resort Golf Director David Riddle and his team was hailed world class, beating off competition from across Africa.

Legend Golf & Safari Resort will now go head to head with other category winners from Asia Pacific, the UK, Americas and the Middle East to find the best golf course in the world.

The announcement will be made at a ceremony in London in November.

The World Property Awards are dedicated to finding both the top residential and commercial real estate developments on the planet. Little wonder then that Africa's newest development sensation is being rewarded for its innovative development.

The multi-award winning resort is also home to t he 10-hole Tribute Course recreating some of the world's most famous Par 3s. It also boasts the planet's most extreme golf hole - the Extreme 19 th , the longest and highest Par 3 on the globe played from the top of a majestic mountain.

Add in Big 5 game drives in unspoiled African bushveld, conferencing facilities, traditional indoor and outdoor dining venues and a world of activities and you have a truly modern leisure development.

And with more than 200 luxury bushveld suites harmonising with nature and offering luxurious accommodation, this unique concept in resort development is still open to private investors and is perhaps one of the main reasons for these latest international property accolades.
