A premium golfing experience at Zimbali Lakes

​

On Thursday, 18 June 2026, the BCX Golf Cup once again delivered an exceptional VIP experience, bringing together distinguished guests for a memorable day of golf, networking and world-class hospitality at the spectacular Zimbali Lakes Golf Course — an Ernie Els Signature Golf Course located in Ballito, just north of Durban.

​

Setting the tone for the Absa SuperSport Shootout weekend, guests were welcomed from the moment they arrived, with chauffeur-driven BMW transfers collecting VIP guests directly from the airport and transporting them in comfort and style to Zimbali Lakes.

​

Played in the ever-popular Betterball Greensomes Stableford format, the day offered the perfect balance of friendly competition and camaraderie as players enjoyed one of South Africa’s premier new golfing destinations.

​

Following an entertaining round, guests gathered at the newly opened clubhouse for an elegant dinner and prize-giving celebration, providing the ideal setting to reflect on the day’s highlights, celebrate outstanding performances and strengthen relationships.

​

Congratulations to the 2026 BCX Golf Cup champions, Odwa Ndungane and Neil Tovey, who claimed this year’s title and added their names to the growing legacy of the event.

​

Blending premium hospitality, meaningful business engagement and memorable sporting moments, the BCX Golf Cup continues to stand out as one of the most anticipated experiences on the calendar and the perfect prelude to the excitement of the Absa SuperSport Shootout.
