Welcome to our new GM
It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm and sincere welcome to André Grove, who has joined us as our new General Manager.
André arrives from Dubai, bringing more than a decade of leadership experience in hospitality and golf estate operations. Most recently, he served as General Manager at Arabian Ranches Golf Club & Hotel (Emaar), where he built a strong reputation for operational excellence, exceptional guest experiences and leading high-performing teams in premium service environments. His international perspective and depth of experience will be a valuable addition to our community.

André has relocated with his wife and their son and they are looking forward to reconnecting with family here in South Africa and becoming part of our community.

Over the next while, André will work closely alongside Jeff to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition, allowing for the sharing of institutional knowledge and continuity in the leadership and values that have shaped our organisation. We are grateful for Jeff’s continued presence and support during this important handover period.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to André and his family as they settle in. We look forward to the journey ahead and to building on the strong foundation already in place.

Swing Into Action – We Put the Fun in Fundamentals!
What a spectacular day on the greens! Our very own golf professionals, Nazeem Goeda and Niel Pieterse, hosted a vibrant group of ladies who were either eager to take their very first swings or looking for a refreshing deep dive into the core of the game. The atmosphere was electric and upbeat as we proved that mastering the “boring” stuff can actually be the most enjoyable part of the journey.
The session focused heavily on the Pre-Swing Principles, which are the essential building blocks for any successful golfer.

Our pros broke down the mechanics of the grip – the old saying of holding the club light in the hands – firm enough for a bird to not fly away – but not hard enough to hurt it.

They simplified the art of aiming to find the target every time. Reminder: If you aim nowhere, you will hit it there every time!

They also gave the necessary guidance on that athletic posture! We don’t want to see that bar stool stance when swinging the club!

By focusing on these “static” elements before the club even moves, our participants are now equipped to prevent common swing flaws before they start.

Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned player needing a “back-to-basics” tune-up, these fundamentals are the secret to lower scores.

Our Professionals are ready to help you – when it comes to the basics, or more seasoned golfers that need to try and improve their centredness of strike or flight patterns.

Keep an eye on the WhatsApp groups for our next ladies session.

Golf Results
Bigger than them
More than ever, we need to invest in the development of social skills for children. Golf offers them the opportunity to learn about teamwork, collaboration, and a struggle TOGETHER towards goals.
Across the country, junior golf programmes continue to grow, reflecting the increasing recognition of the positive role golf can play in young people’s lives. Quality coaching and a supportive environment help children build confidence, develop character, and form meaningful connections, both on and off the course.
Building your future fourball
If you have a child who is yet to experience the game of golf and all that it can offer for their confidence, character, and connections, then we’d love to introduce them to our community of young golfers in 2026. This is a great opportunity to introduce them to the sport in a supportive and welcoming environment. Junior golf offers far more than technical skills – it’s about building confidence, developing character, and creating shared moments that can be enjoyed together as a family for years to come.
