Fancourt International Open
Bell's Heritage Classic
The Montagu is a much celebrated parkland course and has been ranked as the number-one golf course in South Africa in the past. It has recently undergone major renovations with several holes being redesigned and has two completely new holes, the 1st and the 9th.
"With golf critics becoming more discerning and the increase in new modern courses, we believed it was time to rejuvenate the Montagu layout and improve the course immeasurably," says Resort General Manager, Ingrid Diesel. " We believe the new-look course, which has now grown in superbly, has been restored to its former glory where it will once again hold its head high amongst the best in the world."
As with The Outeniqua, play is restricted to members, their guests and resort guests, so there is ample time and space to savour the Fancourt golfing experience. It is, however, always a good idea to book in advance to ensure that you get your desired tee time.
The warm-up area, featuring a full-length range and a chipping and bunker practice area, is available to all golfers before play.
Golf carts are available for hire, weather permitting, while knowledgeable caddies are available too. Please note that to improve your playing enjoyment and to ensure a steady pace-of-play, it is expected that there are at least two caddies for each fourball.
Ernie Els Fancourt Foundation
Two of the world’s golfing greats have joined their charitable foundations to boost golf development to young people with limited resources. The joining of forces is a natural culmination of a long-standing relationship between Fancourt owner Hasso Plattner and South African golfing great, Ernie Els.
Both foundations have been supporting promising golfers – Fancourt since 1997 at its own Golf Academy and Els since 1999 in a countrywide programme. The amalgamated Ernie Els Fancourt Foundation’s new premises and hostels are situated next to Fancourt’s Bramble Hill Golf Course.
Fancourt’s four golf courses and practice facilities, combined with Ernie’s ability to be a role model and lure additional sponsors, is a perfect combination. The new foundation is not aiming to produce the next generation of super golfer but is dedicated to rewarding hard work.
The foundation aims to provide opportunity to deserving young people who would otherwise not be able to develop their talents. They are provided with formal and informal education, which will turn them into well-rounded people who can make a success of themselves inside and outside golfing.
Young people have a place to live and study as well as develop their golf – all in possibly the world’s best set-up for such a programme. The infrastructure on the Garden Route – including world-class golf courses, top schools, a university and an airport – complement the programme perfectly.
