Steyn City has always fascinated me, because I drive past the development area quite often and I have watched the golf course slowly grow, firstly out of the windows of a house in Dainfern and now from the road. It appears to be finished, and probably has special winter grass, given that it was green throughout winter.

It is going to be a huge development and at last, because I’ve had a lot of queries from people who write to me about my blog, there is a website where you can find out more at www.steyncity.co.za. The site confirms that it will be launching in summer 2014, so one assumes that the stampede of a lifetime in terms of the northern suburbs, is going to take place in about October 2014 while everybody scrambles for the best pieces of land along the golf course. It is 2 000 acres in size with apparently 1 000 acres of woodlands and both the roads on either side of Steyn City are going to have their lanes doubled up from single lanes to double lanes in both directions – Cedar Road and William Nicol Drive respectively. The golf course itself is designed by Jack Nicklaus but the estate itself sounds like it is going to be self-catering with cafés, deli’s, medical facilities and even a crèche within the complex.
