Known as South Africa’s ‘Golf Coast’, the KZN South Coast is home to several diverse golf courses offering a variety of world-class 9- and 18-hole courses in close proximity.
CEO of Ugu South Coast Tourism, Phelisa Mangcu said, “As a renowned golfing destination, the re-opening of recreational golfing has been welcomed with enthusiasm by many local residents. We can confirm that the majority of our courses are already open, or are preparing to re-open, and we encourage avid golfers, no matter your handicap, to support the local courses. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the KZN South Coast’s magnificent winter weather on some of the country’s most spectacular courses.”
According to the department, all golf courses will have to implement hygiene compliance protocols to minimise the risk of Covid-19 transmissions. Over the past few weeks, GolfRSA has equipped all clubs with Risk Mitigation Strategies, trained up compliance officers, and provided facilities with a state-of-the-art application that allows for the scanning and monitoring of golfers and staff. All golf clubs have to complete a confirmation of compliance document and submit it to GolfRSA before they can open their facilities.
