Eshowe Hills

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time of year to play Eshowe Hills, considering the weather?

We recommend visiting Eshowe Hills during the cooler, drier winter months, from May to September. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and less humidity, making for a much more pleasant round on this beautiful, undulating course. The fairways are typically in excellent condition then, too.

What makes Eshowe Hills a unique golf experience compared to other South African courses?

Eshowe Hills stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and the incredible indigenous forest that frames many holes. You'll need to think strategically about club selection, especially on holes like the par-3 12th, which plays significantly downhill to a well-guarded green. It's a true test of your shot-making, not just your power.

Are there good accommodation options directly at Eshowe Hills, or should we look elsewhere?

Absolutely, the Eshowe Hills Golf Estate offers fantastic on-site accommodation, from hotel rooms to self-catering lodges, which we highly recommend for convenience. Staying right there means you're just steps from the first tee and can fully immerse yourself in the tranquil Zululand bushveld atmosphere. It's a real treat after a challenging round.

Is Eshowe Hills a good value for money, and what can we expect regarding green fees?

We find Eshowe Hills offers excellent value, especially when compared to some of the more famous coastal courses in KwaZulu-Natal. Green fees are generally very reasonable, and you're getting a meticulously maintained course with stunning views and a challenging layout. You'll feel like you've discovered a hidden gem without breaking the bank.

What's the post-round atmosphere like at Eshowe Hills, and are there any local highlights nearby?

The clubhouse at Eshowe Hills has a wonderfully relaxed, friendly vibe, perfect for unwinding with a cold drink and reliving your best shots. While the estate itself is quite self-contained, you're in the heart of Zululand, so consider exploring the nearby Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk or learning about local Zulu culture for a truly immersive experience.
