Voted the number one golf course in South Africa in 2000, the Montagu Golf Course at Fancourt is named after the mountain pass of the same name, and is part of the original 27-hole design at Fancourt by the legendary Gary Player in the early 90s. This classic tree-lined parkland layout underwent a major facelift in 2005 under renowned Scottish golf architect David McLay Kidd.
The upgrade saw two completely new holes - the 1st and the 9th, redefined bunkers and greens and introduction of several water features such as the dam. Celebrated for its immaculate, year round conditioning, the Montagu GC is currently ranked at #8 in South Africa (Golf Digest, 2018). The signature hole is the Par-3 17th, reminiscent of the 12th hole at Augusta National - the permanent home of the US Masters.
