Legend Golf & Safari Resort

South Africa

Developer peet cilliers wanted the golf facility in the entabeni safari conservancy to be on par with the surrounding african scenery, so he made the wise decision to enlist kuwaiti-based ifa hotels and resorts as a partner in financing the rumored $30 million project.

All at legend is bigger than life, with giraffe, zebra, and antelope roaming freely alongside fairways that wind through open grassland and thick bushveld in two wide nine-hole circuits.

Starting with trevor immelman at the first hole and finishing with retief goosen at the 18th, each hole has been given its own "signature artist." The bunker design has been consistent throughout, with no secret dangers to contend with, much as the pros like.

Between the opening and closing holes, the marketing team has assigned holes to top stars who cater to a broad range of golfers, highlighting young talent like camilo villegas at the par four 8th hole and proven major winners like vijay singh at the par four 15th hole.
