A five-star golf and country estate 6 kilometres west of central George, with three championship courses including the Montagu, which hosted the 2003 Presidents Cup. Public rounds can be booked in advance at premium rates. The estate is closed to general visitors; access is for hotel guests or confirmed tee-time bookings.
Fancourt Golf Estate
A story
Fancourt has three championship golf courses and hosted the Presidents Cup in 2003 — the only time that event has been played on African soil. The Montagu course, redesigned by Gary Player, consistently ranks among the top 10 golf courses in South Africa. Non-members can access the courses by booking in advance; the estate is large and well-maintained, though the fees are substantial. The surrounding area also has a hotel and spa, which makes it a self-contained resort for those who are here primarily for the golf.
