Harding, a small town nestled in a dairy and timber-farming area, sits at the foot of the majestic Ingeli Mountain Range in the Mzimkulwane River Valley and is surrounded by ancient indigenous forests. The Harding Golf Club is a scenic 78-kilometre drive inland from Port Shepstone and offers a welcome relief from the coastal winds found at the coastal golf courses.
The golf course is primarily a local affair, with farmers also pitching in to maintain the course and keep the 19th hole well watered. Although it is a 9-hole course, the double tee boxes at each hole make for a pleasant 18-hole round for casual and experienced players alike.
The fairways, flanked by majestic old trees, are wide and covered with Kikuyu grass, while the greens are covered with bent grass. The course has a relaxed atmosphere and offers great views of the surrounding farms and timber plantations. Six water hazards and several bunkers provide a suitable challenge.
Visitors and locals are equally welcomed, and if you fancy a pleasant round of golf in the rural country side of KwaZulu Natal, Harding is the place for you.
