Legend Golf & Safari Resort

Most Memorable Trip

“My most unforgettable trip was to the Legend Golf & Safari Resort, where I hosted the Africa Golf Classic (an Ascot Tours exclusive). We welcomed nine teams of eight players from around the world for three exciting rounds on the iconic Legends Golf Course. The standout moment was the Extreme 19th, the world’s longest par three. Watching helicopters land on the cliffside tee and seeing the awe on the players’ faces was something I’ll never forget. “

Insider Tip

When golfing in South Africa, always take a caddie if you can. You’re supporting local jobs, and they add real value to your round by reading greens, raking bunkers, and offering helpful advice. Talk to them and you’ll discover their passion for the game and gain a unique glimpse into life in Africa. A buggy is fine, but for a truly memorable experience, having a caddie makes all the difference. It’s also very affordable.
