If you find yourself pondering whether you should take the next shot or rather a photo of the scenery, you must be on a very special golf course. At least that's what Ernie Els thinks. "Highland Gate is definitely such a place," says the South African golf legend. What makes the course so special? Certainly the impressive differences in altitude and the picturesque backdrop of the mountain range in Mpumalanga. Located near Dullstroom, around two and a half hours from Johannesburg, the Highland Gate Golf & Trout Estate has the typical characteristics of an Ernie Els course. You definitely have to keep your concentration high right to the end - the 18th hole presents another special challenge.
