The Zimbali Golf Club is an 18-hole course that has developed the reputation of a memorable course with charisma and challenge, and offers irresistible ocean and forest views, exceptional water and wetland features and a natural setting.

International golf course designer and former British and South African PGA champion, Tom Weiskopf, had to integrate a “cart only” course into a property with dramatic elevation changes, varying eco-systems and substantial residential sections. The entrance of the modern, colonial-styled clubhouse is dominated with the remains of a ruined farmhouse framed around an ageing wild fig tree.
