Louis Oosthuizen partners with Matkovich golf course design group
Since his first design in 1975, Matkovich courses have a trademark use of the natural surroundings in creating layouts that appeal to golfers of all skill levels.
South African professional Louis Oosthuizen has moved into the business of golf course design and has partnered with Africa’s foremost course designer and North Coast resident Peter Matkovich and the Matkovich Group, one of the world’s leading course design, construction and maintenance companies.
“I’m tremendously excited. When it came to looking for a partner who could continue the legacy of the Matkovich Group, Louis Oosthuizen was a perfect fit. We are extremely proud to welcome him as part of our group,” said Matkovich.
Since his first design in 1975, Matkovich courses have a trademark use of the natural surroundings in creating layouts that appeal to golfers of all skill levels. He has created some of Africa’s most spectacular golf courses in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Mauritius, Nigeria and Tanzania.
Matkovich believes Oosthuizen’s global presence will also bring a new element to the Matkovich Group’s designs.
“Louis plays all over the world and is always seeing something new and different that we could incorporate into our designs. He is a global golfer and this will also give us an opportunity to be more global as a company. We are now looking at the next 10 to 15 years and the future of our brand.”
Oosthuizen is equally excited to be partnering with Matkovich in this new venture. “My life has always been about more than just the playing of golf and when I wanted to explore my passion for golf course design I was delighted that Peter and the Matkovich Group were willing to welcome me.”
“I look forward to helping build on the highly respected brand that Peter has created and to represent yet another South African success on a global stage.”
Matkovich’s portfolio of golf courses and redesigns includes Arabella Golf Club, Pinnacle Point, Heritage Golf Club, Woodhill Country Club, Leopard Rock Golf Club, De Zalze Golf Estate, Silver Lakes Golf Club, San Lameer Golf Estate, Simbithi Eco Estate, Ebotse Links, Omeya Golf Club and many others.
