If you consider your swing, your short game or the lush tranquillity of fairways to be a key part of everyday life, Serengeti Lifestyle Estate in Kempton Park may well be your dream home. From the moment you step into the estate’s clubhouse and look out over the meticulously maintained lawns, you know you’re in special territory. And the same applies when you step out of your home into the ambience of the estate as a whole. REALGLEN Properties is proud to be able to offer homes to buy and rent in this estate, and we’ve put together this breakdown of everything that’s on offer for golfers and their families.
Over and above its array of lifestyle benefits – think safety, beauty and friendly neighbours – the estate boasts a golfing lifestyle second to none. There are two world-class golf courses, including a Jack Nicklaus signature designed championship course.
A Jack Nicklaus-designed course that requires strategic play
This course, which played host to the South African Open Championships in 2011 and 2012, offers 18 holes with a variety of strategic features, from bunkers and water hazards to undulating greens. It is designed to keep even the most experienced golfer on his or her toes. For example, hole six (with a par of four), has water running all the way down the right and crossing in front of the green, calling for a precise approach.
Certain tee shots allow aggressive play, while others demand conservative strategy thanks to hazards and narrow greens. Variety in hole length and design adds to the sense of adventure, with par three holes varying significantly in length and challenge. The course’s design leverages both the natural terrain and Nicklaus’s signature touches to create a memorable golf experience.
A second golf course in the estate: Whistling Thorn
Aptly described as “the perfect blend between tradition and revolution”, this course is both fast-paced and environmentally conscious. Created by Dino de Abreu, this course features attractive wetlands and five different tee options. De Abreu is known for his passionate approach to environmental integration within golf course architecture. The course starts with a tough opening hole that require es avoiding bunkers and landing on a narrow, sloping green. This 18-hole course offers plenty of challenges and great enjoyment.
More golfing enjoyment
Serengeti Lifestyle Estate is also home to a Cubs 9-hole short course, which is the perfect way to get the next generation of golfers enthusiastic about the sport. Over and above this, there’s a 9-hole putting complex, a driving range, a golf shop and a golf academy.
Community, future value and an idyllic way of life
Beyond golf, Serengeti Lifestyle Estate is structured to offer families the kind of life that people dream of. With secure gated access, professionally managed grounds and amenities for families as well as retirees, this estate is an idyll. This makes it a smart choice for golfers who expect more from their home environment than a set of greens. Easy access to key arterial routes and O R Tambo International Airport also makes the estate a perfect home for golf-enthusiasts who may travel often.
In terms of sporting facilities, this estate doesn’t just cater for golfers. From team sports like hockey, rugby and volleyball to more individual-focused sports like tennis, pickleball and padel, there’s something for everyone.
The estate’s lifestyle offerings don’t end with organised sports. There are walking paths, cycling trails, a kids’ play area, an estate pool and more.
