Legend Golf and Safari Resort
Not content with being the world’s longest and highest par 3, Legend Golf & Safari Resort's Extreme 19th has taken the ingenious approach of combining time on the links with safari for an experience like no other. The course is situated right in the Entabeni safari conservancy and its not uncommon for golfers to share their time on the fairways with wandering antelope, zebra and giraffe.
Each of the first 18 holes at the Legend’s Championship Course has been designed by a different world-famous golfer. You'll get to test your skills on the creations of legends like Justin Rose, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia and, of course, South Africa’s own Gary Player, Trevor Immelman and Retief Goosen.
The Extreme 19th, perched atop Hanglip Mountain, can be reached only by helicopter. Once you arrive, you're faced with a shot to a green that's shaped like the African continent itself. However, it looks an awful lot smaller at 470 yards below. Your ball will take an agonising 20 seconds to land but, don’t worry, Mulligans (do-overs) are allowed, if not expected. Much more relaxing is the shorter Tribute Golf Course, where the 10 holes are each a replica of famous par 3s elsewhere in the world.
