Legend Golf & Safari Resort
Legend Golf & Safari Resort was one of the world's most eagerly anticipated Golf and Safari resort openings. Africa's most talked about leisure venue has now unlocked the gates to its majestic monumental architectural Great Enclosure and is inviting golf and safari enthusiasts to enjoy the experience of a lifetime.
We here at LSR HQ thought we knew a little something about golf, but believe us when we say that Legend's is something from another World! The Legend Resort is home to the unique "world-in-one" Signature Course where each of the 18 holes has been designed by a world golfing legend. In addition, you can take the challenge of the World's most talked about and unique Par 3, the Extreme 19th!
Set high up on the impressive Hanglip Mountain, the hole is accessible only by helicopter and played to a green the shape of Africa some 400m below. A hole in one here would not only offer unbridled bragging rights for an eternity but the bank would also be a $1million better off. Simply beyond comparison!
Golf Courses
The Signature Course
The Legend Golf & Safari Resort Signature Course is a world first. At the heart of the resort is a championship course designed by eighteen of the world’s top golfers. These leading professionals, selected to add their design expertise to the signature course, share the fascination and spirit of golf.
The list of signatures who have been honoured to design a hole reads like a who’s who of world golf...Luke Donald; World Number 1, Trevor Immelman, former US Masters Champion; Padraig Harrington, two-time Open Champion and US PGA champion; Bernard Langer, Colin Montgomerie, Justin Rose, Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia and Retief Goosen to name but a few.
Each hole has the vision of a great golfer at its heart. And the stunning setting of the Signature Course only adds to its unique nature. A Par 72, which begins with South African designer Trevor Immelman and ends with South African designer Retief Goosen, the Signature Course boasts amazingly wide fairways and immaculate USGA standard greens.
With game meandering across those lush fairways and the enigmatic Hanglip Mountain overlooking the course, the Legend Golf & Safari Signature Course is making a name for itself as Africa's most exciting new golf development.
