Fancourt, George Accommodation

Fancourt, South Africas premier golf resort, is situated in the heart of the Garden Route, one of the most picturesque areas in the world. The suitably named 200km long stretch along the Southern Coast of South Africa offers beautiful and diverse flora and fauna, coupled with a mild Mediterranean-like climate. Along with being the golfing Mecca of South Africa, the area offers a wide variety of things to do, from exploring meandering hiking trails to swimming, boating, and fishing in the surrounding ocean, lakes and rivers. Fancourts beauty is complimented by wonderful waterways surrounded by exquisite mountains, forests and swathes of green fairways and gardens. It is truly a five-star leisure destination with outstanding facilities.

Fancourt has three golf courses, all of which are ranked in the Top 20 in South Africa (2011 Golf Digest rankings), The Links was ranked No. 1, Montagu ranked 7, and Outeniqua ranked 18. Since its opening in the early 1990s with just 27 Gary Player-designed holes, Fancourts 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.

In addition to its courses, Fancourt has an exceptional golf academy that houses a state-of-the-art teaching facility, backed up by the expertise of PGA professionals. And to keep golfers looking the part, there are two well stocked pro shops, offering a wide variety of clothing, accessories and hardware.

But if golf is not your thing and your idea of relaxation is getting some fresh air outdoors, you can always take a mountain bike or go for a jog or hike in the awe-inspiring surrounds of the estate. Fancourt has entertainment for the whole family with four tennis courts, volleyball, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and Jacuzzis. And with supervised games and crafts to keep the kids entertained, mom and dad can enjoy a well -deserved game of golf or spa treatment.

Did you say Spa? The luxurious Fancourt Spa offers complete relaxation in the most tranquil setting. Unwind with a hot stone massage or enjoy a swim in the heated Roman Bath. All the facilities you could want are available, including a steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi and tepidarium.
