South Africa is famous throughout the world of golf for its first-class golf courses and golfing facilities. A very favourable climate and low cost (green fees, membership etc.) are two principle reasons why golf is such a popular sport in South Africa.
The number of Golf Communities in South Africa has increased considerably over the past decade and continues to grow each year. There are many factors contributing to the popularity of golf estate living: - Space available to develop urban communities around excisting golf courses as well as in newly undeveloped regions, - Security advantages that the golf estates offer without intruding on residents privacy, - Excellent facilities such as sporting and leisure amenities freely available to homeowners, - Highly desireable lifestyle and upmarket approach of golf communities in South Africa, - Ideal climate enabling homeowners to maximise time spent outdoors, even during winter, - Stable growth in the property market and excellent return on investment of golf real estate in South Africa, - Affordable prices of land and completed property, and; - The African Factor, which is totally unique to the international golf real estate industry - one can play a round on a top signature golf course after breakfast, have an al fresco lunch on the beach before going on an afternoon safari and having an African sunset dinner in the bush!
The South African golf commmunity market is dominated by local investors, with 80% of properties sold to South African nationals. There are nearly 60 golf communities in South Africa (at the time of writing) on which an average of 500+ homes excist per golf community.
Many golf estates are developed in or around game reserves, thus putting the African wildlife right on the residents' doorsteps. In addition to these Eco Golf Communities there are also combinations of Trout and Golfing Estates, Coastal Reserve Golf Estates, Urban/City Golf Estates and Country Village Golf Estates available to choose from in South Africa.
Most golf communities in South Africa have their own theme and unique relationship to nature, catering for all tastes and needs. The experience of South African golf community living truly ensures a lifestyle unique to the game of golf.
