About the Resort

Named Africa's Best Golf Hotel in 2025 and ranked 14th in Golf World's Top 100 World Resorts, Fancourt is South Africa's premier leisure resort — 613 hectares of Garden Route countryside seven kilometres from George Airport, with the Outeniqua Mountains as backdrop. Four Gary Player-designed courses define the estate: championship parkland layouts Montagu and Outeniqua, rated among South Africa's finest; The Links, a private members course Gary Player calls his greatest design achievement; and The Links Experience, a 9-hole layout inspired by classic British links. The Spa at Fancourt has a full thermal circuit — Roman bath, tepidarium, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and plunge pool — with treatments drawn from four-element rituals and crafted individually for each guest. For the most exclusive experience, The Manor House offers 18 suites in a restored 1859 homestead with butler service, private pool and its own fine-dining restaurant.
