Ballito, South Africa – Zimbali Lakes Resort has partnered with Club Car to supply a fleet of state-of-the-art golf carts, aiming to enhance the experience for its members and guests. This decision comes on the heels of the resort’s recent launch of the 18-hole Ernie Els Signature Course, further solidifying its status as a premier destination for golf enthusiasts.
The partnership involves the delivery of 50 high-spec Tempo golf carts, provided by AFGRI, the official Club Car distributor in South Africa.

The introduction of these carts is expected to significantly improve the golfing experience at the resort, which spans 300 hectares and includes additional amenities like a beach club and sports club, located 25 miles north of Durban.
The Tempo golf carts are outfitted with Visage, a leading fleet management technology that provides golfers with real-time hole-by-hole information and in-car entertainment, enhancing the overall playing experience. The performance of the new Club Car Tempos has been reported to be outstanding, with improvements noted in battery longevity, reduced turf wear, and faster charging times. These advancements support quicker turnarounds for golfers.
