Living Spaces At Eye Of Africa
The original developers coined the estate’s name “Eye of Africa” because it captured the beauty of the region and hinted at its proximity to Johannesburg, the economic hub of Africa. Construction began in 2007 with the infrastructure and first phase of residential properties.
Here the standard of living is only rivaled by the sense of community and facilities available to all residents. The Estate also offers you peace of mind with 24-hour on-site security, access control and patrolling guards to provide a safe and secure lifestyle for you and your family.

Golf At Eye Of Africa
The course is big and bold with wide inviting fairways leading to large, gently sloping greens that run firm and fast. Many of the tee positions are elevated so golfers can see all before them, eliminating any nasty surprises from hidden bunkers. The 18 holes are routed in an out-and-back fashion through some hilly terrain and such is the scale of the layout – with substantial distances between a number of the holes – the use of a cart during a round is mandatory. There’s an expansive feel to playing golf on a course like this (where tees can be set up to play as long as 7 200 metres within an estate of more than 725 ha).
Signature Greg Norman Designed Courses
Designed by the legendary Greg (Great White Shark) Norman, the 7 200-metre, par 72 championship course meanders through the natural grassland, looping back on itself. Eye of Africa is the first Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD) championship course opened in Africa and it sits naturally in some of the highest rolling hills of the Gauteng region. This magnificent course is home to the South African PGA Championship.
Tuition & Driving Range
Whether you are just getting started or have been playing for decades, Eye of Africa Golf Academy offers an affordable lesson package to meet your goals and budget. These lessons focus on fundamentals that build muscle memory and put you in mid-season form when you step on the tee.
Your lesson will consist of a half-hour of personalized instruction from one of the clubhouse’s PGA professionals. While other teaching facilities try to get you to swing like a tour pro, their emphasis is more personal; we want to maximize your abilities. The club’s individual lesson programs are just that, individualised attention, whether you are new to the game or a low handicap golfer.
The driving range, practice green, and short game area are open to visitors and residents.
Eye Of Africa Membership
From the 1st tee to the 18th green, Greg Norman and his expert team have included extensive bunkering and endeavored to integrate the course seamlessly with its stunning natural surrounds. Eye Of Africa offers a variety of different membership types, some including green fees.
