Fancourt South Africa
Golf Courses at Fancourt South Africa
Owner Dr. Hasso Plattner commissioned the legendary Gary Player to add the Links to Fancourt’s existing layouts, and upon completion, the layout became an instant classic. The player’s love of seaside golf spurred him to study his favorite coastal layouts of the UK and Ireland, and their influence is plainly visible.
The demanding Links can be extended to a mighty 7,625 yards from the tees used for the 2003 Presidents Cup and the 2005 South African Open, but rest assured there are tees to suit the mere mortal. The Links is now one of the world’s most celebrated courses, certainly one of the best in South Africa, and is a ‘must play’ for serious golfers.
Durban Country Club
While Durban Country Club is not short of admirers, the ultimate recognition comes from the fact that the course has been chosen to host the South African Open no less than 16 times.
Although it lies within the bounds of the fantastic city, the golf course is blessed with a charming calm, and reflects the character of its historic surroundings.
From the opening hole, an exacting par 4 that requires two well struck shots, Durban Country Club is a fully-fledged demanding championship layout that has well and truly stood the test of time since its inception in 1922. No golfing trip to this stunning coastline is complete without a visit to the established and revered Durban Country Club.
The Sun City resort
The Sun City resort is a comprehensive golf and leisure resort that is certainly a rival to anything on the African continent. Its two outstanding championship golf courses make it extremely appealing for a golf holiday in South Africa to enjoy the amiable climate.
Sun City provides four different accommodation options from The Palace of the Lost City to The Cabanas Hotel, offering a suitable stay for everyone’s needs. Either way, you will have two championship golf courses at your doorstep, with the Gary Player Country Club course hosting the Nedbank Golf Challenge on the European Tour every year.
The Pearl Valley Golf
The Pearl Valley Golf Club was opened in 2003 by two of the biggest names in golf, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
The golf course is one of very few signature golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and in 2005, it was named the best golf course of the year by worldwide magazine Golf Digest.
The course is no stranger to the big stage, having previously played host to the South African Open on three consecutive years from 2007 – 2009. If you fancy playing a previous European Tour host course, then Pearl Valley should definitely be on the list for your South Africa golf holiday.
