Our favorite par 3s in KZN

TBag and JDV go deep on the best par-3s in KZN, comparing notes from some of the province’s most iconic tracks. From the coastal beauty of Southbroom, Wild Coast, Durban, Umkho and Princes Grant, to the inland standouts at Gowrie, Ch*****ne Sports, and Cotswold Downs, they unpack what elevates a par-3 from “good” to unforgettable.

Along the way, they chat about why KZN seems to produce these holes in abundance—hint: the landscape does a lot of the heavy lifting—and reveal their final, no-debate-allowed top 5.

A fun, local episode celebrating the province’s finest one-shotters.

Our Top 5 List (in no order)
Wild Coast - 13th
Ch*****ne Sports - 4th
Southbroom - 4th
Gowrie - 12th
