Montagu Golf Course
Overview
The Montagu Golf Course at Fancourt is one of the best golf courses in South Africa. Designed by Gary Player, this beautiful 18-hole course is part of the Fancourt Resort in George. It is often ranked as one of the top golf courses in the country, making it a must-play for anyone visiting the Garden Route.
Course Layout
Nestled in the Outeniqua Mountains, the Montagu Course is a fantastic golf course with a traditional layout that mixes smart design and natural beauty. The course is over 6,700 yards long from the championship tees and has tree-lined fairways, well-placed bunkers, and smooth, rolling greens. To play well, you need to be accurate, especially on the tighter holes where your tee shot can really affect your score. Enjoy your game in this stunning setting!
One of Montagu’s standout features is its conditioning. The fairways are lush, and the greens are fast and true, maintained to tournament standards year-round. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding both beauty and risk to your round.
Standout Holes
Signature holes at the course include the stunning par-3 17th, which features a dramatic shot over a water hazard to reach a tricky green. Another standout is the par-5 15th, where planning is important. While powerful players might try to reach the green in two shots, most golfers will need to carefully avoid the water and bunkers along the way.

You can find a pro shop, a practice range, and an area for short games. Their PGA professionals at Fancourt are there to provide expert coaching. After your round, you can relax and enjoy scenic views from the clubhouse, where dining options await you.
