GENERAL

All three developments liaise closely with one another, contributing to overall homeowner harmony on the Estate.

International golfing icon, Gary Player, is also a homeowner. The player holiday home has been at Goose Valley for more than 25 years, which resulted in Gary deciding to surround his family home with a world class golf course.

All home owners are automatically members of the Golf Club and their annual golf subscriptions are included in their monthly Homeowner Association levies.

Security

The Estate employs its own Security Manager and security is amongst the best available in Plettenberg Bay. The entire Golf Estate is surrounded by an electrified palisade fence which is zoned and has video camera surveilance, and is controlled by computer from the security office. There is 24-hour patrolled security. Video cameras keep a record of all people entering or leaving the Estate.

Management

The Goose Valley Estate is managed by a General Manager, who goes out of his way to keep all owners and visitors happy. He has highly competent staff reporting to him, including the Security Manager, Maintenance Manager, Gardens Manager and Administration Manager.

Other benefits of ownership:

Golf

There is no entrance fee for owner members who receive two free membership entrances; a primary and a secondary membership. Annual golf subscriptions are extremely low and Goose Valley is without doubt the best value for money golf course in South Africa. Owner members' green fees are also very attractive.

Wildlife

Goose Valley is an indigenous estate with incredible diversity of fauna and flora. The Estate is home to small duiker (buck) and endangered Angulate tortoises. More than 100 bird species have been recorded on the Estate. Guinea Fowl and many other birds, from the large Burchell's Coucal to small Sunbirds, are abundant. In the mornings and evenings Mongooses sometimes pop out the bush and are used to visitors.

Family orientated

Goose Valley is not just for golfers and many owners do not actually play golf. It is great for kids and the Golf Club is open to all. A relaxing family orientated environment ensures a memorable experience. There is a squash court, two tennis courts and a lovely rim-flow swimming pool overlooking the Bay. Jungle gyms and swings are enjoyed by the kiddies. Goose Valley is great for walking or jogging and nothing beats the peace of living on this golf course in the most beautiful part of our Planet.

There is direct access to the Keurbooms Estuary which is part of the National Park under administration of Cape Nature Conservation. The estuary is safe and great for swimming, boating and fishing and is also home to the rare Knysna Sea Horse. The Pansy Shell, the emblem of Plettenberg Bay, also breeds in the Estuary and boating is therefore restricted in certain parts of the river to 10 kph. Skiing areas are available further up river.
