Priding themselves on helping each player develop his or her golfing ability in a fun and exciting environment, Murray Smit Golf is committed to growing junior golf in the Western Cape.
Juniors as young as three years old can be accommodated with Start New At Golf (SNAG) equipment, which is easier and safer to use, before moving onto using proper clubs.
Murray himself has a passion for helping elite juniors achieve their goals, whether that is representing their province, country or to attend a college in the USA, and takes pride in having helped a number of players win both regional and nationally ranked tournaments over the last few years.
Murray Smit Golf utilises premium technology and training aids to help each golfer become the best that they can be. The academy offers both a Trackman and Flightscope launch monitor, which allows instructors to assess precisely how the ball is flying, how the club is moving and therefore how best to optimize each individual’s swing.
The magnificent driving range and chipping/putting greens of De Zalze Golf Club offer a wonderful area for golfers to hone their skills with the help of professional coaches.
The indoor performance studio is also a fantastic place to have lessons when the weather isn’t suitable for coaching outdoors. Used in this facility, the Trackman Launch monitor helps to work on technique, distance gapping and wedge play.

Celebrating a rich history, the origins of our championship golf course dates back to the mid-1990s when renowned golf course designer Peter Matkovich was first commissioned to design an 18-hole course stretching over three farms on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. With courses such as the Steenberg Golf Course in Cape Town and Arabella near Kleinmond under the belt, Matkovich was eager to turn De Zalze Golf Estate into a golfing experience like no other.
The De Zalze Golf Course is situated within the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate. Our course is the perfect test for all golfers.
