If you are tired of playing fantasy courses, take a look at this one before changing your mind : well-designed, this par 72 is pleasant to watch and play, even though it is not too difficult.
With nice small mountains as a panorama, plenty of tree-lined wide fairways (and some quite narrow), and a few big lakes, you will enjoy a stress-free round of golf on this course, located in South Africa and looking quite realistic.
With beautiful plantings (even without flowers) and nice paths, my favorite holes on the front 9 are the pretty left dogleg par-5 1st, with plenty of trees on the left and a downhill tee shot over a half-moon-shaped big lake (ending next to the right of the green), the dogleg par-4 2nd hole, with a wide fairway until you reach the corner, where trees on both sides make it quite narrow, and the scenic par-3 3rd, with a tee shot across a lake with nice bushes around it on the other bank and small mountains behind.
After a couple of dogleg holes, with water to deal with, I also like the long (almost 680 yards) par-5 8th, with a wide fairway twisting to the right with a few trees surrounded by sand a little bit further (in the middle), then bending to the left with a big bunker to the right of the green.
The back 9 is relatively easy but has a few nice holes, such as the par-4 10th where you will need to hit your tee shot over a big u-shaped bunker before aiming for the green, slightly to the left, or the two right doglegs, the par-4 13th hole, slightly uphill all the way with a couple of small rocks past the corner on the right, and the par-4 14th, this time slightly downhill all the way to the green, with a small pond on the left side to watch for.
The finishing holes are worth mentioning too : the par-3 15th is pretty, with a tee shot over a small lake and an elevated green, with a few big bushes below, the par-5 16th hole is quite long (about 685 yards), with a wide fairway bending to the right along the lake, and the par-3 18th, with a blind tee shot to the green, hidden by big trees on the right and with a small pond on the left, is a nice way to finish your round.
Overall, despite few challenging holes, Zambesi Lodge & Country Club is a nice (fantasy) course to keep, thanks to NJJ062 !

Super course. Great length, plays very well. Loved it. 5 stars from me.

I enjoyed my round, played very smoothly. Just one small point, as this was a fantasy course I would have liked to have seen more complex bunker work. Please take this as a constructive comment and keep up the good work. Many thanks for sharing this course. PhilT is right about the number of viewings compared to downloads but that seems to happen on most courses and is not applicable just to this course.

1,816 views and only 322 downloads???? thats got to be wrong. Crazy.

Its a real shame that the system here cannot acknowledge good from bad! I enjoyed playing here very much!I did hack my way round as usual but it was a pleasure to play and obvious the course creaters put a great deal of time into the design and layout. I thank you kindly and I would say you are among the best of the best designers here regardless of dubious ratings! PC; Well you know what I mean! C:
