The host of a golf tour has several key responsibilities:

• Liaison and Coordination: The host acts as the liaison between travelers and various service providers, such as golf courses, hotels, and transport companies, making sure that all arrangements align smoothly.
• Scheduling and Logistical Support: They oversee the scheduling of tee times, accommodations, and transportation to ensure that all activities occur timely and efficiently. This includes working with golf facilities for appropriate tee times and ensuring that participants have the necessary resources, such as golf carts and caddies where available.
• Personalized Assistance: The host provides personalized attention, offering advice on golfing techniques, local insights, and perhaps arranging additional activities for non-golfing companions.
• Problem Solving: The host must quickly address any issues or changes that arise during the tour, ensuring minimal disruption to the participants’ experience.

Participants in a hosted golf tour are expected to:

Follow the planned schedule of activities to ensure the smooth operation of the tour. While there may be some flexibility, sticking to the core itinerary helps everyone enjoy a seamless experience. Actively participate in the scheduled activities, such as golfing sessions and group events. Engaged participants contribute to a positive group dynamic.

Show consideration for other travelers and the host by being punctual and respectful, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all. Handle personal costs, such as gratuities for guides, drivers, and caddies, which are generally not included in the tour package. Tipping is at the participant’s discretion, aligning with standard travel practices. Bring a flexible and positive attitude, open to experiencing new courses and potentially different golfing conditions.

One of the signature holes at De Zalze Golf Course is the 13th hole, a par-4, which requires a strategic approach to navigate the water features and bunkers that protect the green. Another notable hole is the 18th, a par-5 that offers a dramatic finish with its island green, demanding precision and control from golfers.

Gondwana Game Reserve
