OVERVIEW

The premier lifestyle resort, situated in George, South Africa, is home to the three championship golf courses, Outeniqua golf course, Montagu golf course and Fancourt The Links golf course. Fancourt has received an honourable mention as one of the ‘Best Golf Resorts in Africa and the Middle East as part of the 2021 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice Awards.

 

Outeniqua means “the land of milk and honey” and this golf course offers a leisure and entertaining golfing experience. It offers a more forgiving terrain than its counterpart Montagu but offers its fair share of challenges to keep golfers interested. Many of the fairways are lined with villas featuring thatch roofs and crisp white walls, which only adds to the course’s unique charm.

 

This golf course starts with the two old holes, progressing through nine new holes before returning on the 12th to the original layout. There is an ongoing argument regarding the signature hole at the Outeniqua course. Some claim the 4th, which is a par 3. Others claim the 5th hole which is a par 4 with water all the way down the right and bunkers on your left. The debate continues as some suggest the 7th, a difficult par 3, long, narrow, with swirling winds in this low haven on the Outeniqua. The 11th is classified as the best hole on the course, a long Par 5 with crisscrossing creeks. While the debate continues, you will thoroughly enjoy each challenge.

 

Outeniqua course features high on any “must play” golf course in South Africa and is one of the Wild Greens recommended courses.
