Rock Ridge Golf and Fly Fishing Resort

Rock Ridge Golf and Fly-fishing Resort through a joint venture agreement with Smilin’ Thru is being developed on a lush and hilly terrain, not far from Parys on the banks of the Vaal River, just over an hour’s drive from Johannesburg.

The developers want to bring to South Africa, and in particular the residents of Johannesburg and Pretoria and their surrounding areas, a unique and exclusive world class, self contained, eco-friendly resort providing golf, fly fishing, sports and other recreational facilities, and a proposed health spa and hotel. All the necessary development rights have been secured for the residential and fractional ownership component of the development, as well as the construction of a golf course. The hotel and wellness centre, with complimentary resort facilities, are planned in phase 2. Phase 3 will comprise a game reserve area of approximately 1 000 hectares with corporate lodges.

The project is located on the Vaal River, with close proximity to Gauteng. There will be 315 stands, with an experienced team of professional consultants managing the development.

The scope of works for Phase 1 of the development includes an 18 hole championship golf course designed to United States Golf Association (“USGA”) specifications, a clubhouse with conferencing and banquet facilities and a pro-shop, all with views over the golf course to the surrounding mountain ranges, a sports centre, incorporating a squash court, two tennis course, bowls and a swimming pool, entrance gatehouse and workshop facility for estate and golf course maintenance, extensive water features and general estate landscaping and the infrastructure for 315 residential stands and construction of the perimeter boundary walling.

The project duration will cover an estimated 18 months, culminating in the opening of the Golf Course in 2007.
