South Africa 'makes good golf destination'

Those keen on buying golf property overseas may find South Africa to be one of the best places to go, it has been suggested.

A Daily Mail feature on this kind of real estate noted that the southern hemisphere nation is a popular winter sun destination for Britons.

It said the qualities of the country as a golfing venue include having 138 courses of international standard, with one of the best being the Durban Country Club in sub-tropical Kwazulu-Natal, which frequently hosts the South African Open.

Pezula in the southern Cape was noted as a favourite with Britons, due to having many homes near the greens and a nature reserve close by.

South Africa's property market is bouncing back after the recession, real estate magazine Property Abroad claimed recently.

It said transactions in September and October were 40 per cent higher than in the previous two months, a jump attributed to the reappearance of 100 per cent mortgages.
