South Africa’s number one course—crafted for champions, inspired by tradition.
The Links at Fancourt is widely regarded as the finest golf course in South Africa. Designed by Gary Player and opened in 2000, it was built on the site of an old airport runway and transformed into a true links-style experience, complete with undulating fairways, pot bunkers, natural grasses, and dramatic coastal-style contours—all set against the backdrop of the Outeniqua Mountains.
This exclusive par-73 course is consistently ranked the best in the country and among the top 100 in the world. It has hosted international events including the 2003 Presidents Cup, the SA Open, and the Dimension Data Pro-Am. The routing challenges players from start to finish, demanding precision, imagination, and control across all 18 holes.
Access is limited to Fancourt Hotel guests and private members, ensuring pristine conditions and a premium playing experience. The course features a world-class practice facility, mandatory caddie service, and elegant halfway house. From its rugged beauty to its championship pedigree, The Links delivers a golfing experience on par with the great coastal courses of the British Isles.
