To train at a facility like this would be perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin noted that November and December \u2014 the major pre-season period for ATP players \u2014 would be ideal for training camps in Harare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would prefer November and December, which is the big pre-season for ATP players. Training in Harare is good for the body. They would love it. At the same time, they get to play their tennis and also enjoy some golf, which they love,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond hosting athletes, Benjamin sees strong potential for investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessional sports personalities are always looking to invest in different destinations. The Hills offers a unique opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His vision is to see The Hills become a magnet for international talent, lifestyle seekers and property investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis dual offering of elite tennis and championship golf makes The Hills a unique destination \u2014 not only for athletes, but also for lifestyle buyers looking to invest in Zimbabwe\u2019s most ambitious luxury estate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin and his brother, Courtney Lock, recently signed a partnership agreement with WestProp Holdings to establish the Lock Brothers Tennis Academy at The Hills. The academy will complement the estate\u2019s growing portfolio of sporting facilities, which include swimming, paddle tennis, five-a-side soccer and other recreational amenities.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by global benchmarks \u2014 including Benjamin\u2019s recent visit to Bali\u2019s Morotobi Tennis Centre \u2014 the academy will feature state-of-the-art tennis and paddle courts, positioning Zimbabwe at the forefront of modern racket sports development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourtney and I have a huge passion for giving back to Zimbabwe. To start seeing the plans take shape, especially at the tennis centre, is exciting,\u201d Benjamin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always wanted to establish a world-class tennis centre for Zimbabwe and for Africa \u2014 an example to the rest of the world of what can be achieved here through strong partnerships and collaboration. To see the vision and progress taking shape is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An avid golfer himself, Benjamin also expressed admiration for the rapid progress being made on the estate\u2019s golf course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am impressed with how fast the golf course is coming along. It looks beautiful, and I think it\u2019s going to be amazing to see the final product. It will be a wholesome moment when everything is complete,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For the Lock brothers, the academy represents more than just sport \u2014 it is about legacy. Their commitment to nurturing young Zimbabwean talent is central to the project, ensuring that aspiring athletes will have access to world-class facilities at home.<\/p>\n<p>With its blend of luxury living, elite sports and wellness amenities, The Hills Luxury Golf Estate is positioning itself as Zimbabwe\u2019s premier destination for recreation, lifestyle and investment.
