South Africa - Fancourt Country Club

Fancourt is South Africa’s premier golf resort, featuring three highly rated Championship golf courses, where play is restricted to Members, their guests and hotel guests.

 Since opening in the early 90's with just 27 Gary Player-designed holes, Fancourt’s Outeniqua and Montagu golf courses have matured and developed into two of the finest 18-hole parkland layouts in the country. A round on either is a special experience, sculpted and finished as they are, with rare attention to detail and designed with the coastal George winds in mind.

The Linksat Fancourt was added in 2000, an awe-inspiring example of magnificent design and golf-course construction, about which designer Gary Player says: “Links golf is how the game originated and at The Links we take golfers back to the roots of golf – and they can play a ‘British Open’ all of their own!”

In addition to three golf courses suited to every type of golfer, Fancourt has an exceptional golf academy that houses a Taylormade Performance Lab and state-of-the-art practice and teaching facilities, backed up by the expertise of PGA professionals. To keep golfers looking the part, there are two well-stocked pro shops, offering a wide variety of men’s and women’s golf clothing, accessories and hardware.

Unique to South Africa, The Links is now ready to play. It will open as a public golf course on September 17 this year.

Created by the Gary Player Design Company, over 700 000 cubic metres of earth was moved in transforming flat land into undulating dune-style terrain. Designed as a links-style golf course, it is the only such course in South Africa.

Every hole received detailed attention to ensure that the overall balance in terms of length, position of hazards and shot values are in harmony. As a result, The Links is a challenge in all weather conditions.

It will add a dramatically different dimension to the estate's existing world-class golfing facilities which include two other Gary Player designed championship courses - the Montagu and the Outeniqua - and a state-of-the-art golf academy and nine-hole beginners course.

"The links has satisfied and far exceeded my design philosophy, which was to capture the essence of what makes great traditional links courses so special," Fancourt owner Hasso Plattner said. "I believe that The Links will provide golfers with the most natural golf experience - which, to me, is what golf is all about," Plattner added.

"It is the only links-style course in the country planted with cool season grasses," said Phil Jacobs, chief designer of the Gary Player Design Company.
