Frequently Asked Questions

What's unique about golfing in Vhembe District Municipality, especially with only one course?

You're not just playing golf; you're embarking on an adventure at the Legend Golf & Safari Resort. The highlight is undoubtedly the Extreme 19th, a par-3 accessible only by helicopter, offering a truly unforgettable, albeit pricey, experience. Beyond that, the championship course itself is a challenging, beautiful layout winding through the bushveld, often with wildlife as your gallery.

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Vhembe?

We recommend visiting during the dry winter months, from May to September. The weather is cooler and drier, making for comfortable rounds, and the sparse vegetation means wildlife viewing is at its peak. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms, ensuring a more consistent golf experience.

Since there's only one main golf course, what other activities should we plan for in Vhembe?

Your trip to Vhembe should absolutely include a safari. The Legend Golf & Safari Resort is nestled within a private game reserve, offering fantastic opportunities for game drives and wildlife encounters right on your doorstep. It's the perfect blend of a challenging golf experience and an authentic African bushveld adventure.

What's the best way to get to Vhembe District Municipality, and where should we stay?

Most golfers fly into Polokwane International Airport (PTG) and then arrange a transfer to the Legend Golf & Safari Resort, which is about a two-hour drive. Staying directly at the resort is your best option, as it provides seamless access to the course and all the safari activities, making your logistics incredibly straightforward.

Is a golf trip to Vhembe worth it for just one course, and what's the biggest highlight?

Absolutely, it's a bucket-list destination, not just a golf trip. The biggest highlight is undeniably the entire Legend Golf & Safari Resort experience, especially the Extreme 19th hole - it's a once-in-a-lifetime shot from a mountain top. You're paying for an unparalleled combination of world-class golf, stunning scenery, and incredible wildlife encounters that you won't find anywhere else.
