The Limpopo Province is the most northerly district in South Africa and its beautiful Waterberg Bushveld region is home to a number of stunning, modern golf courses, two of which – Elements and Zebula – are situated within twenty-five miles of each other.
Prolific Zimbabwean architect Peter Matkovich designed both 18-hole layouts, with Zebula making its appearance first in 2004, one year ahead of Elements.
Although they’re in close proximity to each other, the courses are laid out over totally different landscapes with holes at Zebula strung out over rather flat, open terrain whilst Elements Private Golf Reserve lies in a rugged, rocky valley where lush fairways roll through heavily wooded terrain.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
