Greenways Golf Estate Area Profile

Greenways Golf Estate is a 40-hectare residential estate bordering False Bay along the most peaceful section of the Strand beach area. Framed by the  Hottentots Holland and Helderberg mountains on the eastern and northern horison, Greenways is one of only a few secure lifestyle estates in South Africa which has direct access to the beach - with some of the houses and apartments approximately 50 meters from the water's edge.

The Estate offers a park-like atmosphere with tarred pathways meandering throughout the common area whilst bird life is abundant. A variety of architectural styles allows for a freedom of design not always available in upmarket estates.

The Greenways mashie golf course is extremely beautiful and well-manicured, consisting of 18 tees, nine greens with all holes being par three. The clubhouse has two swimming pools and two tennis courts, a restaurant / bar and a conference hall with a variety of books available for residents. Four of the 6 street names within the estate are named after the top golf courses in the United Kingdom: St Andrews Drive, Wentworth Street, Muirfield Crescent and Turnberry Close.

Besides golf, Greenways Golf Estate offers wide open spaces and over 7 kilometers of tarred pathways to walk, jog or cycle. You can also enjoy bird watching at several dams in the estate, angling at the beach, just stroll over the lush green lawns, sit in the shade of a tree, or walk along the tarred pathway next to the beach. During the whale season, from June to November, residents can watch the antics of these gentle giants from their own balconies. 

Security and Eco Measures:

Greenways Estate is extremely safe with state-of-the-art biometric systems, manned 24-hour access control, electric fencing, and camera surveillance technology, giving residents and their guests the freedom of enjoying the facilities around the estate with total peace of mind. Security is supplied by an independent company.

Other than the beachfront, Greenways is fully walled. The beachfront area is protected by means of rotating surveillance cameras that transmit images to an off-site control room. Patrol guards on bicycles are also on constant duty in this area as well as within the remainder of the Estate. Only two gates with boom restriction, fully controlled by security guards , allow access to the Estate.

The entire Estate is connected to fibre optic (FTTH) allowing for high speed internet.

Three new litter interceptors have been installed by City of Cape town along the Soet River in Strand to prevent waste causing water pollution at the mouth of the river, on the beach opposite Greenways Golf Estate. The Greenways Estate HOA has volunteered to undertake weekly cleaning of the interceptor, situated within its premises. 

The bio-remediation and nano-bubble system financed and installed inside Greenways by its HOA, has also been incredibly efficient in cleaning the Soetrivier. A pilot project involving the creation of a bio-retention pond has yielded impressive results by filtering river water through the pond, successfully removing a significant amount of sludge and debris, restoring the riverbed to its natural state. Recognising the importance of community involvement, Greenways has organised regular clean-up initiatives and employed additional staff to manage litter.

Restaurant and Bar: Operating hours vary between summer and winter. The menu includes breakfast served from 08h00 (summer), a children's menu, light meals such as "sand-wedges" and burgers, pizzas and for dinner also pasta and ribs choices. Specials are regularly updated on Greenways' Facebook page. The bar, operational seven days a week, boasts an array of beverages, including the exclusive Greenways Lager (made by CBC) and Bootlegger coffee. The bar screens major sporting events where the residents enjoy meeting up.

The conference venue accommodates up to 50 persons and is available for a variety of events such as weddings, birthdays, corporate gatherings and AGM meetings. For an expansive setup, the veranda and grass verge can be integrated. The bar remains functional during daytime screening of major sporting events on the main hall's big screen.

Location: Greenways is only 45 minutes from Cape Town's CBD, 25 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and 20 minutes from Stellenbosch.

Greenways Golf Estate also benefits from its ideal positioning close to two of the best golf courses in South Africa, Erinvale (10 kms) and De Zalze (20 kms). It is located within 20 minutes of a plethora of wine farms, where one can enjoy wine tasting or sample food at gourmet restaurants. It is also less than 10 minutes from a regional shopping centre, close to 2 of the country's best universities (Cape Town and Stellenbosch). In addition, the area has some of the best state and private schools, and 2 private hospitals (Busamed Paardevlei and Medi-Clinic Vergelegen) within 11 and 14 minutes drives respectively from Greenways Golf Estate.

The Helderberg area is also an absolute haven for the outdoor and sporting enthusiasts such as mountain bikers, cyclists (with Clarence Drive offering some of the most spectacular scenery), yachtsman or divers and deep-sea anglers. Strand also boasts an Olympic sized, centrally heated swimming pool, which is open all year round.
