Golf has been played in Scotland on links courses for over 400 years. Golf has been played in Benoni in abandoned quarries for a much shorter period of time! You would think this would mean the Ebotse experience would be a watered down links experience. But it isn’t! From the moment you stand on the first tee you feel you’re on an authentic links with high grass blowing in the wind and very little golf course in sight due to the “rising ground,” which is what the word links (evolved from the word hlinc) means. If you haven’t visited, put Ebotse on your bucket list, and bring extra balls. She’s a narrow beast and punishes severely if you stray from the path. Links golf straight out of Benoni.
