5 Outdoor Activities in Parys That You Shouldn't Miss
Parys (pronounced /ˈpɑːreɪs/) is a town situated on the banks of the Vaal River in the Free State province of South Africa. The name of the town is the Afrikaans translation of Paris. The name was given by a German surveyor named Schilbach who had participated in the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and the location next to the Vaal reminded him of Paris on the River Seine. The area of Parys also includes the two townships Tumahole and Schonkenville.

4. Vaal de Grace Golf Estate
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
Vaal de Grace plays host to the first Nick Price signature golf course in South Africa, with fourteen holes in the North West Province and four in the Free State. The 18 hole layout is forgiving for the average player, but still challenging to the professional who wishes to maintain a good score.

Rented a house on the estate for a breakaway weekend in Parys. Would definitely recommend staying on the estate if going to Parys. A 5 minute drive from town and all the shops but staying on a golf course with beautiful surroundings. Even saw some buck during one of our games.
