Fancourt Country Club, George

The Montagu

This Gary Player designed course is a demandingly fair test set in beautiful surroundings. The generous kikuyu fairways and fast bent grass greens give a taste of the type of course, popular on the US tour.

The Fancourt Montagu is considered one of the best conditioned golf courses in South Africa and has been ranked as the top course in the country a few times. The Montagu takes in a setting of mountains, water and wildlife. It is cleverly designed, picturesque and presents a challenge to golfers of all levels.

In total there are four courses (72 holes) at the Fancourt Estate. The courses are: The Links, The Montugu, The Outeniqua and The Bramble. Serious fun!

George Golf Club, George
George is a combination of parklands and woodlands layout with the age of the course being reflected in the well-established trees. The course which has almost been hacked out of a forest and the surrounding natural vegetation together with backdrop of the Outeniqua mountain range makes a beautiful setting.

The course receives enough water throughout the year and is always in great condition. The rolling kikuyu fairways are wide and generous. The rough, however, is not so forgiving with thick shrubbery and all kinds of trees. Well placed bunkers on the fairways and around the greens make club selection and accuracy all the more important on this course! The dam provides for a great focal point around the course, especially off the first tee where you must negotiate the dam on the left and trees on the right.

Mosselbaai Golf Club, Mosselbaai


Famed for having a view of the sea from every tee, a round of golf will surely not only be pleasurable, but will leave lasting memories. The links course, with its large undulating greens, can be a challenge in windy conditions.

The fairways are relatively hilly and very scenic, the rough is short and the greens are well guarded by water hazards and sand bunkers.
