Fancourt - Montagu

Nestled at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains on South Africa’s iconic Garden Route, Fancourt is a premier golf and lifestyle estate, consistently ranked among the world’s top 10 lifestyle destinations.

 

The Montagu Course, part of Fancourt’s original trio of championship layouts, was crafted by Gary Player and refined by David McLay Kidd in 2005 to enhance playability and strategic depth. It features lush Kikuyu fairways, fast bent-grass greens, and refined contours, offering both elegance and exacting challenge.

 

Montagu is renowned for both its superb conditioning and iconic holes. The par-3 17th is a standout, drawing comparison to Augusta National’s famed 12th hole—small, dramatic, and demanding precision. The par-5 18th offers a thrilling finish, rewarding thoughtful risk and flawless execution.

 

More than a round, playing Montagu is a refined journey through terrain where natural beauty and championship golf unite. For those seeking an exceptional parkland experience, this course represents both heritage and excellence, seamlessly woven into Fancourt’s haven of leisure and sport.
