Dainfern is a mature, secure Golf and Residential Estate which has evolved over 1200 homes since its inception in 1992. The Estate offers an unparallelled lifestyle and recreational experience centered around the Gary Player designed golf course enhanced by nature trails, parks and sports facilities all located in its own 320 hectare "suburb". Dainfern represent a variety of architectural styles and tastes, creating a unique and personal experience. The Estate is divided into villages, each having their own character. Dainfern is a sanctuary withing the energetic, vigorous metropolis of Johannesburg where children can safely ride their bikes in the street or play in one of the eleven playgrounds and parks the Estate offers Dainfern is a small municipality in itself and is central to the other estates and developments that form the regional precinct that surrounds the estate. Dainfern provides a very secure environment for its residents, where there is no fear of crime and an all-inclusive lifestyle that caters for all members of the community.
Dainfern, a private Estate nestled away in the north east of Johannesburg, was acquired by Johnnic Properties in 1985. The old Fourways Golf Course formed part and parcel of the acreage acquired by Johnnic Properties and, after a great deal of research, consulting, planning and negotiation, the premier lifestyle Estate, Dainfern, was born.
Complimentary Lifestyle events take place throughout the year and are an important element in forging a strong sense of community – annual events include The Easter Egg Hunt, Mother’s & Father’s Day celebrations, a Christmas Market, Halloween Trick or Treating, and Carols by Candlelight.
Residents as well as non-residents band together to enjoy all the luxurious, active and serene offerings that make Dainfern ‘home’ through sound environmental principles and thus enrich tranquil residential living at Dainfern and provide as much indigenous highveld vegetation as possible.
We encourage all our residents to come down to the Clubhouse from Moms, Dads, Kids, Grannies and Grandads to partake and enjoy these activities. Dainfern hosts events at and around the Dainfern Clubhouse. Join us for more fun and activities.
The course tests the skills of proficient golfers, with play crossing the Jukskei River six times. The course has some of the most scenic yet challenging holes in the country and is one of South Africa’s most exciting golf venues. It was the second golf estate to be launched in South Africa and the first in Gauteng. All golfers welcome to the estate, come and play a round of golf.
