Welcome cocktail party and private BBQ this evening at Fancourt
OVERNIGHT: Fancourt Manor House - Homewood Suite , breakfast included.
GOLF: Today play Fancourt - The Montagu . Designed by Gary Player and remodelled in 2004 by David McLay-Kidd (Bandon Dunes, Machrihanish Dunes), the Montagu is regarded as South Africa's best parkland golf course. With the highest levels of conditioning and true championship layout, The Montagu at Fancourt sets the standards by which all other courses in South Africa are measured.
Caddies / Carts are included
OVERNIGHT: Fancourt Manor House - Homewood Suite , breakfast included.
GOLF: Today play Pinnacle Point. Magnificently perched atop staggering cliffs, this windswept course three hours east of Cape Town and a half hour south of George marks a major addition to South Africa’s already world-class golf scene. Six of the holes play across deep chasms to greens that seem to float in the Indian Ocean. The yawning ravines and distant horizons can make 150-yard shots look like twice that length. On the par-four eighth, tee and green sit on opposing bluffs; big hitters can attempt an all-or-nothing carry with the hope of having an easy wedge in, or play it safe by bailing out left and facing a much longer approach.
Carts are included.
OVERNIGHT: Fancourt Manor House - Homewood Suite , breakfast included.
Golfers can add golf at Pezula or Fancourt - Outeniqua
SIGHTSEEING INCLUSION: The Garden Route and Little Karoo's natural beauty will have you question ever wanting to leave this idyllic spot! The Garden Route and Little Karoo spans from Witsands whale birthing haven in the West to Plettenberg Bays beach, polo and party-going pleasures in the East. Then there’s the arid geological basin along the interior, wedged between the fynbos-rich Heidelberg in the west and Uniondale’s eastern sheep farming and rock art treasures. It's all about an abundance of blue skies, white sand beaches, rolling oceans, mountain scenery, indigenous fynbos, ostrich antics and local hospitality. A place where you can travel along routes where you are often alone on the open road or make for the malls and beaches Golden vineyards, sun-drenched orchards, pin-drop-silent forests, sweeping lakes and birds eye view passes add to the mix.
Dinner is included this evening at Fancourt.
OVERNIGHT: Fancourt Manor House - Homewood Suite , breakfast included.
GOLF: Today play Fancourt - The Links. Created from a previously flat piece of land, over 7.5 million square feet of earth was moved to create a classic links style layout that is regularly regarded as one of the top clubs in the country. The course presents undulating windswept terrain and dune-style landscape and is the only such course in South Africa. Every hole has received detailed attention to ensure that the overall balance in terms of length, position of hazards and shot values are in harmony. As a result, The Links presents a stern but fair test of golf. The club has hosted the 2003 Presidents Cup, 2005 Women's World Cup and the 2006 South African Open.
Caddies are required and included. Gratuity is additional
