Solid golf on the Western Cape
De Zalze won't blow you away like the Links at Fancourt or Pinnacle Peak, but it's solid golf nonetheless. A parkland course with lots of interesting doglegs and water features, it certainly isn't easy either. The ninth, which brings water into play off the tee, requires a precise tee shot and approach shot if you want to keep the momentum going into the back nine. Nice clubhouse with good eats complement the experience.
