With Fancourt’s three golf courses consistently ranking among Golf Digest’s top 20 courses in the country, golfers can tee off in paradise against the backdrop of the towering Outeniqua Mountains that loom large over the Garden Route town of George. In addition to its proud legacy of sporting excellence, Fancourt’s three golf courses were designed by a dynamic team spearheaded by Gary Player and the estate’s owner, Dr. Hasso Plattner. The Links, a privately owned club, is currently No. 1 in South Africa (Golf Digest Rankings 2018), while the Montagu and Outeniqua courses both ranked within the Top 20.
