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 8th position on South Africa’s Top 100 Courses list of top golf courses in the country.
Golfers can expect a challenging, highly enjoyable golfing experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the Fancourt estate.
Designed by Gary Player and named after the Outeniqua Mountains. Ranked 18th by South Africa’s Top 100 golf courses experts, Fancourt’s Outeniqua golf course offers a entertaining golfing experience. It has more forgiving terrain than the Montagu, but offers its fair share of challenges to keep golfers interested.
Fancourt Estate’s The Links private club is South Africa’s number one golf course. Exclusivity and privacy is guaranteed.
The Links is currently ranked as the number one golf course in the country by Golf Digest South Africa. It also ranks 56th in Golf Digest US edition’s list of the world’s 100 greatest golf courses.
Featuring an undulating terrain and dune-style landscape, the course is the work of Gary Player, course designer, Phil Jacobs and Fancourt owner, Dr. Hasso Plattner.
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 Champions European Tour.
One of the most attractive aspects of the Val de Vie "Super Estate" is its iconic Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. This masterpiece was shaped by the vision of golf legend Jack Nicklaus and his unique touch is evident throughout the course. Pearl Valley was officially opened in November 2003 by Nicklaus and South African great, Gary Player.
Innovative architectural and landscaping techniques ensure that the Leopard Creek golf course and living areas are naturally protected from animals, while lakes and small streams have been diverted through the development to create scenic vistas and interesting golf strategies. Golfing hazards take on a new dimension at Leopard Creek, for much of the water is home to the magnificent creatures for which the river is named, crocodiles. Extensive use has been made of water features and sightings of crocodile, hippo, antelope, buffalo and wild boar are commonplace, either on the course itself or in or next to the river running alongside several holes.
