‘THE GOLF COAST’ SHOWS POTENTIAL IN KZN

Boasting 11 golf courses, great accommodation, and an enviable subtropical climate year-round, the KZN South Coast has rightfully earned its title as ‘The Golf Coast’. This year, from 25 to 28 November, the KZN South Coast will witness the ultimate battle for golfing supremacy at the Lifestyle Developers SA Women’s Masters 2025, supported by South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise.

The nation’s most elite lady professionals descend upon two championship venues – Southbroom Golf Estate and San Lameer Golf Estate – for a four-day spectacular that promises to redefine women’s professional golf in Southern Africa. This not only boosts local tourism but also unlocks significant investment potential for the region. “We are incredibly proud, as South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise [SCTIE], to welcome one of the most prestigious women’s professional golf tournaments on the KZN South Coast,” said Dr Vusumuzi Sibiya, CEO of SCTIE.

 “Events such as these continue to position the region as a top MICE [Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events] destination while fulfilling our dual mandate of promoting the diverse tourism offerings and unique investment opportunities found here. Through the Lifestyle Developers SA Women’s Masters 2025, we’re excited to unlock more growth on the KZN South Coast.”

 Visionary Leadership Driving Transformation

The SA Women’s Masters carries the weight of history – established and sanctioned by the Women’s PGA of South Africa in 1996, it stands as the second oldest women’s professional golf tournament in Southern Africa. This year’s championship returns to ‘The Home of Women’s Golf’ on the KZN South Coast, where champions have been crowned and careers have been forged. Jenny Havenga, owner of Lifestyle Developers and Lifestyle Golf, brings both championship credentials as a former provincial golfer and business acumen as a leading property developer to this transformative event.

Her company’s recent deal with SCTIE positions the South Coast as a prime international destination through integrated golfing and property platforms. “We are committed to hosting this annual tournament in this beautiful part of the world,” Havenga explained. “The all year-round subtropical climate, the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in KZN, great golf courses, and unmatched natural beauty make it the ultimate destination for visitors, sports enthusiasts, and homebuyers! We’re looking forward to another spectacular event, and encourage people to book early!”

Dr Vusumuzi Sibiya said SCTIE would continue to support such MICE events on the KZN South Coast, which unlock more growth through investment opportunities, such as:

■ Accommodation and product expansion through event packages.

■ Transport services such as airport transfers, parking solutions, and on-day shuttles.

■ Event sponsorship, corporate hospitality, and on-site exposure.

■ Pop-up markets offering local cuisine, beer zones, and local merchandise.

■ Tourism experiences beyond the event such as curated day- trip bundles.
