Fancourt Golf Resort

Located in the beautiful Garden Route region on South Africa‘s south coast, Fancourt is arguably the country’s premier golf resort. Five-star luxurious accommodation, a fabulous spa and excellent food combine with three world-class Gary Player-designed golf courses and an incredible array of local attractions.

The resort lies on 613 hectares of verdant countryside surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountains, forests and the Indian Ocean, just 15 minutes from the airport in the town of George which connects to Cape Town international airport.

Golf Courses & Academy

There are three fantastic golf courses onsite. The Links is rated by All Square as the number one course in the whole of Africa. Montagu is rated as the fourth best in South Africa, while Outeniqua is rated the 22nd best. South African legend Gary Player cast his expert eye over all three designs.

Inspired by the famous links courses of the British Isles, The Links has hosted some of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, including the Presidents Cup (2003), the SA Open (2005) and the 2012 Volvo Golf Championship on the European Tour.

Outeniqua is a majestic parkland layout similar in character and design to its sibling, the Montagu. It’s highly enjoyable, varied and offers an excellent test for golfers of all standards. Montagu has generous fairways and fast grass greens similar to many golf courses on the PGA Tour. The par 3 17th is reminiscent of the famous 12th at Augusta National.

The resort’s excellent Golf Academy uses the latest cutting edge technology to assess and improve your golfing skills, and structured lessons with PGA professionals are available.
