Located in the beautiful Drakensburg Mountain, this stunning course is one of South Africa’s most beautiful golfing venues.

Lying in a glorious setting in the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains, Fancourt has quickly established itself as South Africa's premier golf resorts since its opening in 1991. All three of its magnificent Gary Player designed courses, the Links, the Montagu and the Outeniqua are ranked in South Africa’s top 20, and provide a demanding but fair test set in beautiful surroundings.

The Signature hole is the 17th a wonderful Par 3 with an elevated tee and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, the ever-changing winds and undulating green guarded by four bunkers make this a tough little hole.

Carved around the majestic hippo and crocodile filled lakes, this course is as good as it gets and is on most golfers bucket lists! The championship layout has hosted numerous tournaments including the European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Championship.

Leopard Creek Golf Club
Humewood Golf Club

Situated on the sand dunes on the shores of Algoa Bay, this true links course is characterised by thick coastal bush, swales, humps and hollows. Although the fairways are wide and undulating in order to compensate for the strong winds, the rough that borders them is unforgiving. The holes are simple yet neat, the gulf greens are fast and firm, the few bunkers are well positioned with tough, steep faces and there are no water hazards..
