De Zalze

Nestled on the edge of Stellenbosch in South Africa’s renowned Winelands, De Zalze Golf Club offers an uncommon blend of championship-level golf and tranquil surroundings. Designed in the late 1990s by esteemed architect Peter Matkovich, the layout unfolds across gentle parkland terrain framed by the Helderberg Mountains, vineyards, olive groves, and the meandering Blaauwklippen River.

 

The course demands thoughtful play, with strategic water features—most notably the river and ponds—guarding greens and shaping standout holes like the risk-reward 13th, which starts from an island tee. While offering authentic challenge, the route remains inherently accessible and playable, a testament to its polished design and sweeping vistas

 

The immaculate conditioning and welcoming clubhouse elevate the experience, offering world-class hospitality framed by vineyard-clad hills and panoramic views. Not a mere round of golf, playing at De Zalze is stepping into a refined lifestyle, where precision, natural beauty, and Winelands charm converge.
