Golf Courses
Pinnacle Point Golf Course
Overlooking the Indian Ocean near Mossel Bay, Pinnacle Point Golf Course is one of the most unique and scenic golf courses in the world. Pinnacle Point Estate has been nominated every year as “South Africa’s Best Golf Course” by the World Golf Awards.
George Golf Course
The new millennium has confirmed the George Golf course as one that has withstood the test of time. Voted by Golf Digest as the 9th best course in the country (2004) and the 17th hole as one of the top 600 holes in the world (Golf Magazine 2000) the course provides a wonderful test of golf for all golfers! The George Golf course is a beautiful, 72 par, 18-hole course with bent greens.
Fancourt – Montagu Golf Course
Fancourt’s Montagu Golf Course, originally designed by Gary Player, has earned a world-class reputation as one of the best 18-hole parkland layouts. It holds the prestigious 8th position on South Africa's Top 100 Courses list of top golf courses in the country.
Fancourt – Outeniqua Golf Course
Ranked 18th by South Africa's Top 100 Courses' experts, Fancourt’s Outeniqua golf course offers a leisurely and entertaining golfing experience. It provides a more forgiving terrain than its counterpart, the Montagu, but offers its fair share of challenges to keep golfers interested.
Fancourt – Links
This is currently South Africa’s number one golf course. Exclusivity and privacy, and Fancourt’s signature hospitality, is guaranteed. It also ranks 56th in Golf Digest US edition’s list of the world’s 100 greatest golf courses that compared 464 courses from 18 countries around the globe. Golfing legend Gary Player described it as his greatest ever achievement as a course designer.
Simola Golf Course
The 18-hole, par 72 Championship Course has many aspects that play in its favour. It is only of only three Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses in Africa and the first to be designed of those three. The course wanders along the impressive landscape high atop Simola hill. Jack Nicklaus wrote of his design at Simola that it was his “…aim to create a golf course that will be a demanding test of skill for the accomplished golfer playing from the back tees. But, at the same time, I want to offer a challenging, yet enjoyable experience for the average or beginner player who plays from the appropriate tees and thinks his or her way around the golf course.”
Pezula Golf Course
Located on the Garden Route in the scenic town of Knysna, Pezula Championship Course is undoubtedly one of the world’s most beautiful 18 holes. With sweeping ocean and lagoon views, a round at Pezula is both a sporting and visual experience.
