Ebotse Golf & Country Estate — Local services in Ekurhuleni Ward 27

But at Ebotse plant on the sides of cliff like quarry scratchings. Some really challenging holes in this links setting. But with the new Slope rating coming into effect early September 2018, weekend golfers can walk off the 18th feeling satisfied with their efforts if they choose to play the forward tees. The houses that have grown up between the fairways are really spectacular. So get out there and...
