Sakabula Golf Club, situated in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands, is an 18 hole, par 73 course consisting of two very distinct and different 9 holes. The first 9 holes traverse an undulating valley providing breathtaking scenic views over the Drakensberg Range.
The second 9 holes wind along a stunning natural watercourse and wetland area with numerous dams. The two 9's are so interestingly different in character and challenges that the golfer can experience what normally could only be found on two different golf courses.
Sakabula Golf Club has several interesting features including a large indigenous paperback thorn tree that stands on the 14th green. The long 500 metre par 5 at the 5th hole, all uphill, is considered a real test of stamina by many golfers.
The 10th hole tee start is managed by a traffic light that is manually switched back to green by the golfer as he clears the area that was unsighted from the tee box. It is interesting to note that Sakabula is the only par 73, rated 73 golf course in KwaZulu Natal.
