subject: Are You A Golfing Nut [print this page] Are you a golfing nut or do you just enjoy a relaxing game of golf with friends and family, enjoying majestic scenery and a tranquil environment. Situated just outside Newcastle in Kwazulu Natal is the Vulintaba Country Estate. Equidistant from Johannesburg, the business centre of South Africa, and Durban, South Africas premier holiday destination on the Indian Ocean, Vulintaba delivers an authentic rural existence.
Nestling in the foothills of the Northern Drakensberg mountain range, adjacent to several wild life reserves, the Vulintaba Country Estate provides affordable, up market property for sale Newcastle, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
The Country Estate provides a range of activities including golf. Golf facilities include a golf club house, an academy, a driving range, a golf course and an express golf course still under development.
The golf course and golfing facilities, designed by renowned landscape architecture consultants, DDV Design, have been cleverly integrated into the surrounding topography.
The 9 hole course consists of 9 greens and 18 tee boxes to give the course a par 72 rating and covers a distance of 6753 metres. The tee boxes have been arranged to create two distinctly different 9 holes with the front 9 playing some 250 metres longer than the back 9.
The course has been designed to provide a significant challenge for the ardent golfer but also to be forgiving for the less skilful player. A mixture of dams and streams feature on 6 of the 9 holes and a natural gorge running through the course has been included as feature on several holes. A 220 metre long par 3 is amongst the most difficult of the holes but in contrast the short par 5 on the 9th and 18th holes presents an opportunity for all levels of golfers to end the round in spectacular style with a birdie.
Careful thought has been given to the lay out of the course to preserve the feeling of solitude whilst providing ample space for property development alongside fairways and overlooking greens and tee boxes. Enhancing this peaceful and picturesque setting are the superb views of the upper Drakensberg in the distance.
