Golf Resorts Club

In 1993, Allen Usher founded the Golf Resorts Club, an innovative membership-based golf travel business that connects enthusiasts to world-class golf destinations. Offering its members vacations in homes that Golf Resorts owns in select golf estates in South Africa such as Fancourt, Arabella, Pezula, Pinnacle Point, Erinvale, Atlantic Beach, Zimbali, Selborne Park, San Lameer, Champagne Sports Resort, Magalies Park, White River Country Estate, Kruger Park Lodge, Hans Merensky and Elements. In 2010 the First Resorts Group acquired the Golf Resorts Club from Usher and have since grown the Club to be the largest golf holiday ownership club in South Africa.

Atlantic Beach Golf Club

A premier golf course on the Cape West Coast, blending lifestyle with natural beauty. In 2002 the developer, the Johnnic group, was unbundled and decided to sell off its property development interests including Atlantic Beach which was only 50% developed. The development rights were sold to the Skeena Trading company – a consortium led by the Rabie Group. By 2005 Skeena had completed the development and the Allen Usher Trust and the then General Manager of the golf club, Bill Taylor, acquired Skeena, and in so doing, acquired ownership of the golf club. In 2012 Usher and Taylor sold the Golf Club to the Atlantic Beach Homeowners Association and remain as Honorary Members in recognition of their role in establishing and managing the Club.
