The Zebula Golf Course near Bela-Bela in Limpopo is a truly unique golfing destination where the untamed African bushveld meets refined sporting design. Created by renowned course architect Peter Matkovich, this 18-hole, par 72 course blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Fairways wind through indigenous trees and bush, while water hazards and strategically placed bunkers challenge players of every level. With the striking Waterberg Mountains as a constant backdrop, every round feels like both a test of skill and a scenic journey.
What sets Zebula apart is the presence of free-roaming wildlife. As you line up a shot or walk the fairway, you may well spot antelope grazing in the distance, warthogs trotting across the rough, or an array of birdlife flitting above. This close connection with nature elevates the golfing experience, making it far more than just a game. It is not unusual to pause mid-round to appreciate a herd of zebra or the distant call of a jackal, reminding players that they are guests in an unspoilt wilderness.
The course is immaculately maintained, offering lush greens and well-groomed fairways throughout the year. Designed to be both playable and enjoyable, it caters to seasoned golfers looking for a challenge, as well as those wishing to enjoy a more leisurely round in spectacular surroundings. With its combination of thoughtful design, breathtaking scenery, and encounters with wildlife, Zebula offers a golf experience that is impossible to replicate in an urban setting.
After a round, the estate’s clubhouse provides a welcoming space to relax, complete with dining facilities, comfortable lounges, and sweeping views of the bushveld. Guests can combine their game with the wider offerings of the Zebula Golf Estate & Spa, from luxurious spa treatments to game drives and family-friendly activities. Whether you are a dedicated golfer or simply seeking a retreat in nature, Zebula delivers an unforgettable balance of leisure, adventure, and tranquillity.
