Fancourt Links Golf Course

Fancourt Links Golf Course

The Links at Fancourt is certainly one of the most outstanding golf courses on the entire Garden Route, if not across South Africa as a whole. This astounding Garden Route Championship golf course has a healthy par of 73 and is located in the beautiful town of George. The golf course itself is an incredible display of golf design and construction. The Links at Fancourt Golf Course is a golf course that not only offers an in-depth test for every golfer but also ranks among the world’s top courses.

Know the world over as one of the best in the world, this inland-links style challenge is the visualization of the one and only Gary Player.

Designed by the legendary Gary Player and considered to be his design masterpiece, the Links at Fancourt recreates the classic courses of Scotland and Ireland in a typically South African setting with the majestic Outeniqua mountains serving as a dramatic
backdrop.

Conceived on a former airport site, the resulting aura is that of a pure links layout in spite of its inland location, with only the climate and the mountains serving as reminders that the golfer is not in the British Isles.

Having hosted the 2003 Presidents Cup (which ended in a dramatic tie between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els with Nelson Mandela in attendance) and the 2005 SAA Open, playing at The Links is a very, very special experience

Playing at The Links in Fancourt, it’s sometimes hard to imagine that you’re not at one of Scotland’s or Ireland ‘s top golf courses until you recognise the imposing and mesmerising Outeniqua mountain range that rises magnificently in the backdrop, giving you a truly magical setting to enjoy.

This golf course is no doubt on most golf aficionados bucket lists and a golf course that is pure and simply a must play in the garden route region of South Africa.
