The course is designed to offer a thoroughly enjoyable golf experience for both young and old, and lower and higher handicap players. Par 5's, 4's and 3's have been constructed to take full advantage of the scenic topography and a number of challenging water features and bunkers ensure a complete golfing experience.

A large number of tees have been created to allow the very young the opportunity of making par! Rated as the Best New Course in KwaZulu-Natal and ranked 32nd by Compleat Golfer, The Executive Course makes for an enjoyable round of golf.

Simbithi Eco-Estate strives to create a community lifestyle in the truest sense of the word and has achieved this through the placement of numerous community centres on the Estate.

4. Walking Trails

 
Simbithi Eco-Estate boasts a diverse range of habitats. These include coastal forests, swamp forests, grassland, dams, streams and wetlands. We have a wide variety of fauna and flaura. Bushbuck, Duiker, Large-spotted Genet, Lesser Bushbaby, Vervet Monkeys, Scrub Hare and a variety of Mongoose species are among the many types of wildlife which can be seen within the estate.

We have completed the walking trails within Phase 1 of the estate, all walking trails have been cut and boardwalks installed in areas where past access would have been impossible. These trails meander through the swamp forests, grasslands and the other habitats which are on the estate.

"We have concluded a bird observation report and 136 different bird species were recorded through the Autumn,Winter, Spring and Summer months. Some of these include the Fish Eagle, Lesser Jacana (near threatened), Woolynecked Stork (near threatened), White-faced Duck and many others. Our walking trails give a unique opportunity to explore areas and witness a wide variety of animals and plant material. The trails are accessible from all roads within the estate. As our trails are new, we would welcome any feedback regarding improving a resource from which everyone can step back into nature."

5. Dams, Indigenous Forests and Grasslands

 

A network of dams creates the opportunity for a range of wonderful and serene leisure activities. Fishing is allowed and the dams are well stocked with selected species of tilapia and carp. Bird life is already abundant and birdwatchers will be able to take advantage of secluded spots to observe and appreciate their interactions.

The indigenous forest belts are home to a number of smaller buck species such as bushbuck and the rare blue and grey duiker. The grasslands play host to introduced species such as impala. Simbithi has a number of open spaces that will also allow for walks, runs and a general sense of living in an ecologically sensitive environment. A strict garden landscaping protocol will also ensure that the wide open spaces allow full growth of the course into pristine condition.
