Golf Courses at the Fancourt Golf Estate in George

The Fancourt Estate in George, Garden Route, is one of South Africa's premier golf resorts, featuring three highly rated Championship golf courses as well as the Western Cape's premier 18-hole public course.

Fancourt's Outeniqua and Montagu golf courses rank amongst the finest 18-hole parkland layouts in South Africa. A round on either is a special experience, sculpted and finished as they are with rare attention to detail and designed with the coastal George winds in mind.

The Links at Fancourt was added in 2000, an awe-inspiring example of magnificent design and golf-course construction designed by Gary Player . Bramble Hill was added, a course that is distinctly Fancourt, yet has a friendly character all of its own. It is a course that can be tackled by beginner and seasoned campaigner alike, without the intimidation and pressure so often associated with celebrated championship courses.

In addition to four golf courses suited to every type of golfer, Fancourt is home to one of the finest golf academies in the world, with state-of-the-art practice and teaching facilities, backed up by the expertise of PGA professionals, as well as several well-stocked on-course pro shops offering all types of golf merchandise

The Montague Golf Course at Fancourt

The Montagu Golf Course at the Fancourt Estate in George is a much celebrated parkland course and has been ranked as the number-one golf course in South Africa in the past. It has recently undergone major renovations with several holes being redesigned and has two completely new holes - the 1st and the 9th. The warm-up area, featuring a full-length range and a chipping and bunker practice area, is available to all golfers before play. Golf carts for the Montague golf course are available for hire, weather permitting, while knowledgeable caddies are available too.

The Outeniqua Golf Course at the Fancourt Hotel

The Outeniqua is one of two majestic 18-hole Parkland layouts at Fancourt. Designed by legendary Grand Slam golfer Gary Player, it is similar in character to its sibling The Montagu, and its challenging design and fine conditioning will ensure an excellent test for all levels of golfers. As with all courses at Fancourt, there are a variety of tees from which to choose to play, ensuring that golfers are unlikely to ever feel overpowered by the course. Golf carts are available for hire , weather permitting, while knowledgeable caddies are available too.

The Links Golf Course at the Fancourt Golf & Spa Resort

The Links at Fancourt is one of the most impressive golf courses when it comes to golf design and construction ever in South Africa. Gary Player's design team spent months studying the classic links courses of Scotland and Ireland and then, armed with inspiration from the best that those countries had to offer, embarked on the ambitious task of recreating some of their finest holes to make a genuine links test on what was once an airfield.

The result is awe-inspiring and has elicited praise from some of the world's finest golfers - The Links was the host venue for the 2003 Presidents Cup, which ended in an historic tie after a dramatic play-off between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els. In early 2005, it was the host venue for the Women's World Cup of Golf, which was won by the diminutive duo of Rui Kitada and Ai Miyzato of Japan. In December 2005 The Links hosted the SAA Open, the world's second-oldest national Open Championship.

The Links Golf Course at the Fancourt Hotel in George, South Africa, is a private club, with play restricted to members and their invited guests. There are limited times available to guests staying at Fancourt's hotel .

The Bramble Hill Golf Course

Bramble Hill is the fourth course at Fancourt, but it has a character all of its own. Built in response to a need for an 18-hole facility that would be accessible to the community of George and surrounding areas, Bramble Hill is truly a public golf course in the sense that there are no restrictions on who can play at any given time.

Unique to South African layouts, Bramble Hill has a fun "practice hole" between the 10th and 11th holes, which is a character-filled little par three where golfers are given a respite from the concentration of the round - or it is a place to have a little mid-game wager with your playing partners. In keeping with Fancourt, Bramble Hill features a modern, facility rich clubhouse, as well as a well-stocked pro shop, with a wide range of competitively priced golf merchandise. On hand to offer expert advice are a number of resident PGA professionals.
