Designer Golf Courses
Living on a golf estate is any avid golfer's dream - with the course lying a few steps away, it becomes effortless to tee-off at any time of day. However, residents who are novices are also encouraged to learn the sport and grow their skills. For this reason, many estates offer reduced membership fees or other perks. For example; Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate encourage this by lending golf clubs to residents free of charge. What's more, the 18 hole golf course on the estate is designed and built by Peter Matkovich and was crowned the Best Golf Course in Pretoria as voted by the Best of Pretoria awards. To top this, Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate is home to the Silver Lakes Golf Academy, South Africa's premier Golf Academy venue and facility. The professional, PGA qualified coaches, up to date swing analysis technology with Flightscope and wonderful outdoor facilities including a driving range, short game practice area and extensive putting green allows for coaching on all areas of the game. Silver Lakes Golf Academy is also an athlete performance and player management centre.

Top-Notch Facilities
Of course, golf estates are renowned for stellar golf facilities. However, many people are unaware that these estates also promote a sporty lifestyle through a variety of other activities. To explain this better, let's turn our focus back to Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate. Besides the golf club, residents have access to a wide selection of other clubs such as squash, tennis, fishing, photography and athletics. To make this possible, the estate boasts spacious and well-equipped tennis courts and squash courts, while designated lakes and dams are perfect for reeling in the "catch of the day".

Fine and Casual Dining 
No golf estate is complete without an entertainment factor where residents can meet and socialise over a good meal paired with a delicious wine. These estates often have an alfresco café and rustic restaurants. But Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate takes this one step further with a Café 41 offering casual dining options such as wood-fired pizza's, a selection of cakes, and a private blend of coffee. For parents with kids, the café has a state-of-the-art children's playground which makes it perfect for a day out with the family. And for a more formal dining experience, there is the Fairways Restaurant where you can indulge in great food while enjoying panoramic views of beautiful lakes, the golf course and gardens.

Other features to look out for is the estate's very own wine shop that stocks a variety of exquisite "vino", a convenience store that bakes its own bread every day, and a members' bar exclusively reserved for golfers with a membership. 

More than one Unique Experience
Some estates blend various concepts together to create a living environment with more than one stand-out feature. By offering more than one feature, these estates become more sought-after as buyers get better value for their money. In the case of Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate, residents not only have access to sports facilities but wildlife attractions as well.
