Eshowe Hills is situated on the majestic, rolling hills in Northern KwaZulu-Natal, South-East of the town of Eshowe which was the historic capital of 'Queen Victoria's Zululand'.
Eshowe Hills was planned and developed with the object of enhancing and improving the natural environment. No natural forest areas were destroyed. In fact more than 3000 indigenous trees have been planted since the project commenced while alien species, such as gum trees, have been, or are in the process of being, eradicated. The result is that the rivers on the estate now flow continuously.
The Eshowe Country Club celebrated its Centenary last year and the golf course is possibly the oldest course in the country still playing on its original site.
The course was designed by the legendary Bob Grimsdell. In October 2007 the 1st nine was upgraded by Jeff Hawkes (former European Masters Champion and multiple tournament winner). Great care has been taken to keep the “Grimsdell character” of the course.
The boardwalk has been established on the 8th hole (162m par 3) and runs through the forest from tee to green at a height of 5 meters. This spectacular feature can take golf carts and is absolutely unique in South Africa.
