Golf at The Montague Golf Course, Fancourt:
The Montagu is a much celebrated parkland course and has been
ranked as the number-one golf course in South Africa in the past.
It has recently undergone major renovations with several holes
being redesigned and has two completely new holes - the 1st and
the 9th. "With golf critics becoming more discerning and the increase
in new modern courses, we believed it was time to rejuvenate the
Montagu layout and improve the course immeasurably," says Resort
General Manager, Ingrid Diesel. "We believe the new-look course,
which has now grown in superbly, has been restored to its former
glory where it will once again hold its head high amongst the
best in the world." Play is restricted to members, their guests
and resort guests, so there is ample time and space to savour
the Fancourt golfing experience. It is, however, always a good
idea to book in advance to ensure that you get your desired tee
time.
The warm-up area, featuring a full-length range and a chipping
and bunker practice area, is available to all golfers before play.
Fancourt
Fancourt is situated in the heart of the Garden route, and close
to the country's largest remaining indigenous forests, the Tsitsikamma.
A feel of the past with the convenience of the present. Imagine
traveling back in time when life was simple, the land was unblemished
and the air was clean. Outside your window the birds are singing
and the wind is gently rustling the leaves of the trees. Here
you will also find 4 superb golf courses and a health spa.

challenging design and fine conditioning will ensure an excellent
test for all levels of golfers. As with all courses at Fancourt,
there are a variety of tees from which to choose to play, ensuring
that golfers are unlikely to ever feel overpowered by the course.
As with The Montagu, play is restricted to hotel residents, members
and their guests, so you are unlikely to ever feel crowded on
the course, however, it is always a good idea to book in advance
to ensure that you get your desired tee time. The warm-up area,
featuring a full-length range and a chipping and bunker practice
area, is available to all golfers before play. Golf carts are
available for hire, weather permitting, while knowledgeable caddies
are available too. Please note that to improve your playing enjoyment
