Steyn City is open for sales and I was told that they sold R550 million worth of property on their first weekend.  The infrastructure is amazing, but of course it is going to be a very densely packed area.  Apart from houses, which are to be built on pieces of land that they are selling for R5 million, there are also going to be thousands of townhouses in the complex which is going to have a range of up and coming young people to billionaires, all living in the same estate – which will certainly make for an interesting mix.  I played the golf course and I really enjoyed it, particularly since it is the closest golf course to me, other than where I live.  I have always had a fondness for Serengeti on the East Rand, other than the fact that it is too far away and to me you can see the Jack Nicklaus effect on both these courses.  The Club at Steyn City most closely resembles Serengeti of any other golf course I have played, and it is a wonderful addition to the golf courses in Gauteng.  It has the special green all winter grass that is so nice to play on in winter when everything else is dead and dry, and a lot of risk reward holes – short par force – where you can either try and drive the green or lay up, short of water and take the more safe option.  The course is dwarfed by the house of Douw Steyn where just the water feature and the dam below it, I am told, cost R30 million.  He has a helicopter landing pad about 70 metres from his house and I guess at R250 million one can really live it up in a house like that!  No doubt his staff bill will far exceed the average person’s monthly bond repayments!
