Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate

About Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate Holiday Apartment

Since opening in the early 1990sFancourt has developed at an incredible paceand is now firmly entrenched in the elite of world golf resorts. Gary Player's 27 holes were the foundations of the golf resort at its inaugurationbut Fancourt now boasts three first class championship courses and a new public layoutmaking the estate's golf complex the envy of the African continent.

Links Course
Owner Dr. Hasso Plattner commissioned the legendary Gary Player to add the Links to Fancourt's existing layoutsand upon completionthe layout became an instant classic. Player's love of seaside golf spurred him to study his favourite coastal layouts of the UK and Irelandand their influence is plainly visible. The demanding Links can be extended to a mighty 7 625 yards from the tees used for the 2003 Presidents Cup and the 2005 South African Openbut rest assured there are tees to suit the mere mortal. The Links is now one of the world's most celebrated coursesand is a andlsquo;must play' for serious golfers.

Montagu Course
Fancourt's Montagu Course has in the past been ranked as South Africa's bestbut with the inception of the Links in 2000it appeared slightly dated. That is why the management implemented a thorough overhaul that involved major renovationsincluding the addition of two new holes. The resultant parkland layout - 7 385 yards - is once again celebrated in South Africa and beyondand its spectacular holes will be remembered for a long time to come by fortunate Fancourt visitors.

Outeniqua Course
The Outeniqua takes its name from the dramatic mountain range that guards over the Fancourt estateand was also conceived by Gary Player. Its character is similar to the neighbouring Montagu layoutwith immaculate fairways and greens carved through the rugged dunes and expanses of water that characterise the landscape.

Bramble Hill Course
The newly established Bramble Hill course shares six holes with the golf academybut plans are afoot to extend it to a full layout. The public course was established to serve the needs of the George communityand although it does not have the flair or extravagance of its country club neighboursit has great potentialand is ideal for beginners and learners.

In addition to its comprehensive academythese amazing courses are truly awe-inspiringwhich is why golf holidays at Fancourt are so sought after.
