KZN golf courses to host SA World Club ProAm

BREATH-TAKING coastal scenery, a sub-tropical climate, magnificent topography and lush natural vegetation make up the ingredients of a world-class golfing experience as five of KwaZulu-Natal’s premier golf courses prepare to host the second PGA of South Africa World Club ProAm from 14 to 21 February 2015.

Chief executive of the PGA of South Africa, Ivano Ficalbi, said, “We are pleased to announce that Durban Country Club, Prince’s Grant Golf Estate, Mt Edgecombe Country Club, Zimbali Country Club and Cotswold Downs Golf Estate will proudly host our 2015 tournament. These award-winning courses were selected for the excellent test of golf that they provide and for the world-class PGA golfing experience that has become ‘par for the course’ when hosting the World Club ProAm”.

Durban Country Club is one of the top golf courses in South Africa and host of more South African Opens than any other club. Golfers will travel up the KwaZulu-Natal north coast where the popular Zimbali Country Club awaits with its dramatic elevation challenges and natural landscape.

Further north is Prince’s Grant Golf Estate which has earned a reputation for excellence with its large greens and impressive fairways. Heading back inland are the final two courses which are both built to USGA standards – the magnificent Peter Matkovich signature course of Cotswold Downs Golf Estate and the tranquil setting of Mt Edgecombe Country Club.

“The stakes for the second PGA of SA World Club ProAm are high with a prize purse of US$270 000, so the unique golfing challenges presented by each of the five courses will add to the golfing experience from the exhilaration at tee-off to the triumph of a victorious finish of 90-holes of championship golf,” concluded Craig Clay-Smith, spokesperson for the PGA of SA World Club ProAm.
