Elements Private Golf Reserve is a championship‐standard golf estate set in the bushveld of the Waterberg region, Limpopo, just 20 kms from Bela-Bela. The course was designed by Peter Matkovich and opened in 2005, set over roughly 495 hectares of varied terrain punctuated by natural hillsides, open plains, perennial streams and indigenous vegetation. Its layout features 18 holes with multiple tee options, offering different distances and levels of challenge. The course plays to a par of 72 from tee boxes that range up to approximately 6,927 metres, with slope and rating values that ensure a test for every club in the bag. Elevated areas and doglegs are common, and some holes require strategy more than length, especially where tees are perched above greens or play across water features and sculpted bunkers.
The natural setting is more than just scenery: wildlife roams freely across the reserve, bringing a sense of serenity and wild charm to the round. A large dam lies adjacent to both the ninth and eighteenth greens, which adds drama especially when the dam is full. Bent grass greens are maintained to high standards despite a historically dry climate, aided by renewed rainfall and cooperative water management arrangements with neighbouring properties. The clubhouse occupies a ridge overlooking the 9 th and 18 th holes, providing sweeping vistas of the course and the broader bushveld. Practice facilities include a driving range, chipping and putting greens.
Amenities are part of the appeal beyond the fairways. There is a clubhouse with restaurant and bar, locker rooms and golf shop. Apart from golf there are hiking and mountain biking trails, game viewing, bird watching and luxury lodging options within the estate. It is malaria free, making it accessible for travelers at most times of year.
