Courses
Residents and Visitors to Fancourt can enjoy 3 magnificent courses that will enhance the magic of your holiday in South Africa.
The Outeniqua course is ranked 16th in South Africa by Golf Digest and is named after the mountain range that provide the stunning backdrop to this magnificent resort. The Outeniqua is an 18 hole parkland course that measures 6952 yards and plays to it full Par 72.. The course was designed by Gary Player and although recognised as an easier course that the Montagu still provides a very good challenge. With water hazards featuring on 11 holes of this course this will provide a challenge to golfers of all abilities without making it impossible to play. You can be assured of a pleasant round of golf as the Outeniqua is open only to members and hotel residents.
The Montagu course at Fancourt was again designed by Gary Player and is quite similar in design as its sister course the Outeniqua. Measuring 6912 yards this par 72 parkland course has slightly more generous fairways and fast greens that are quite widely seen on the US Tour. One of the feature holes is the par 3 17th that can only be cleared by clearing a large water hazard and evokes comparisons to the 12th hole at the Augusta Masters. As The Montagu is also limited to just hotel residents and club members the pace of play will enable to you appreciate even more the unique experience of playing at Fancourt.
The Links course is the flagship of the Fancourt Estate and Gary Player has acclaimed the Links as one of his greatest triumphs in course design. Voted number one in South Africa by Golf Digest SA and always featuring in many top 100 course reviews the Links has been transformed from the site of an old airfield into a masterpiece of golfing heritage. Having hosted the Presidents Cup in 2003 you could be forgiven for thinking you are playing in Scotland or Ireland. Measuring 7183 yards this par 73 course is a test of your golfing ability and it is advisable to pack a few more golf balls into your bag.
A Caddy is compulsory when playing the Links course and limited tee times are available to residents on this private golf course. Apart from the 3 outstanding golf courses, Fancourt Estate offers a wide range of practice facilities for those who want to warm up before heading out to the course. Located by the Tennis courts the facilities include short game and putting areas plus a range of covered and uncovered driving bays
