A natural bushveld course in breathtaking setting -wildlife roam the greens - a Top 10 Course
Elements Private Golf Reserve starts with the advantage of its location less than two hours north of Pretoria, the capital city. This is one of the most breath-taking malaria-free bushveld regions anywhere in South Africa. Elements boasts an 18-hole Peter Matkovitch designed championship golf course with fantastic practice facilities for the avid golfer. The course is ranked among the best in the country.
The setting for Element's is one of the biggest factors in its favor. The surrounding terrain varies between the natural hillsides of the Waterberg with open plains and streams. The golf course meanders through a fertile valley of indigenous vegetation and natural bushveld flourishing with wildlife.
The short par three 9th and the long par five 18th both return to a spot beneath the clubhouse perched up on top of a small hill. Both these holes have to contend with water. The ninth requires absolute precision off the tee with a short iron to a green almost surrounded by water whilst the 18th is a long par five where you must hit two good shots to get yourself in position to hit a short iron to a tight green well protected by water and bunkers.
The game species resident to Elements include: Kudu, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Blesbok, Red Haartebeest and Mountain Reedbuck, as well as some smaller indigenous species. Few other golf courses in South Africa can boast this kind of natural diversity and beauty. Golfers should leave this course with an irresistible urge to return.
