FD Golf Day 1 Dec 2015 De Zalze Golf Club Cape Town Holes: 18 Par: 72 Length: Championship - 6 369m / Club – 5 937m Set in the incredibly picturesque Cape Winelands near Stellenbosch, the 300 hectare De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate not only contains a world-class golf course, but offers golfers and visitors the opportunity to enjoy wine tasting, picturesque luxury accommodation and dining at Terroir Restaurant as well, all hosted on the Estate. Golfers and visitors can also relax on the terrace whilst enjoying spectacular views at the comfortable clubhouse, where they can enjoy superb breakfasts and lunches. Gaining its name from the three adjoining wine producing farms namely, Groote Zalze, Kleine Zalze & De Vleie, De Zalze Golf Estate not only contains a golf course, but has historical buildings on the estate too, including a manor house and precinct which date back to 1838. In 2000 the Spier Group purchased an interest in the property and, together with Kleine Zalze, remodelled the estate into one of the most sought after golf real estate properties in the Cape Winelands region of South Africa. Of course the star attraction is the De Zalze Golf Course. Designed by Peter Matkovich, course architect for Leopard Rock, Arabella & Pinnacle Point amongst others, De Zalze makes the most of its stunning setting and places a premium on accuracy. 26 | www.firstdistribution.co.za
