Fancourt is one of the standout places to stay on South Africa’s Garden Route, combining five-star accommodation with championship golf, excellent dining and extensive leisure facilities beneath the Outeniqua Mountains. Set across 613 hectares near George, the resort has everything you need for a complete golf holiday without losing the relaxed atmosphere that makes this part of South Africa so appealing.

The main Fancourt Hotel has 115 rooms and suites, with accommodation ranging from Classic and Luxury Rooms to spacious One and Two-Bedroom Suites. Classic Rooms offer private balconies overlooking the gardens or Montagu Golf Course, while Luxury Rooms add more space and views towards the estate or mountains. For groups or longer stays, the suites provide separate living areas and plenty of room to properly settle in.

Golf is naturally at the heart of Fancourt. Guests have access to the Montagu and Outeniqua courses, two contrasting championship layouts that make it easy to build several rounds into your stay. The exclusive Links course provides the resort’s flagship golf experience and should always be arranged well in advance. With three very different courses available, Fancourt is somewhere we would happily stay for several nights rather than treating it as a quick stop on a wider itinerary.

There is plenty to enjoy once the clubs are away. The Spa at Fancourt includes a heated Roman Bath and Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and tepidarium, alongside an extensive menu of massages and treatments. The Leisure Centre adds indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, tennis and multi-sport courts, while walking, running and cycling trails stretch across the estate.

Dining is another big part of the experience, with several restaurants offering different styles throughout your stay. La Cantina is ideal for relaxed Italian-inspired dining, while Monet’s offers casual meals with views towards the golf and Outeniqua Mountains. Other options give you everything from contemporary South African flavours to more refined private dining.
One of Fancourt’s biggest advantages is its location. George and the surrounding Garden Route are easy to explore, while beaches, Knysna, Wilderness, Mossel Bay and the wider Western Cape countryside can all be incorporated into a longer trip.

For golfers wanting luxury accommodation, multiple championship courses and everything you need within one resort, Fancourt is an exceptional Garden Route base.
