Fancourt Resort

Fancourt’s Montagu Golf Course, originally designed by Gary Player, has earned a world class reputation as one of the finest 18-hole parkland layouts. It holds the prestigious 8th position on South Africa's Top 100 Courses' list of top golf courses in the country.Golfers can expect a challenging, yet highly enjoyable golfing experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the Fancourt estate. This tree-lined course covers large tracts of varying terrain across an undulating indigenous landscape. A detailed stroke saver takes golfers through the course, providing distance measurements and images that assist players with navigating the course. A warm-up area, featuring a full-length range and a chipping and bunker practice area, is available to golfers before play. Golf carts are available for hire, weather permitting. Ranked 18th by South Africa's Top 100 Courses' experts, Fancourt’s Outeniqua golf course offers a leisurely and entertaining golfing experience. It provides a more forgiving terrain than its counterpart, the Montagu, but offers its fair share of challenges to keep golfers interested. Also designed by Gary Player and named after the Outeniqua Mountains, the course can comfortably accommodate a large field of golfers.

Of the four Fancourt Golf Courses, Bramble Hill, also designed by Gary Player Design Co. is Fancourt’s shortest offering with 6 holes. Although not as pedigreed as Outeniqua, Montegu and The Links, it does contain some of the same DNA. It has a furrowed terrain with undulating fairways and pot bunkers. Like The Links, the greens are elevated and full of mischievous inclines and hollows. The very short par-3 5th provides a good opportunity to gaze across the course, with the picturesque Outeniqua mountains providing a breath-taking backdrop. For the closing 6th hole, Bramble Hill mimics the parkland persona of Montagu and Outeniqua Courses. This hole, whilst not quite as imposing but good enough to ensure a testing finish at one of its most idiosyncratic holes.
