The Garden Route stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape all the way to Storms River in the Eastern Cape. The spectacular region with its wonderful coastal scenery, mild climate, indigenous forests and lakes, and winding rivers makes this unique part of South Africa a true paradise, especially for golfers. The Garden Route was voted the number one golfing destination in 2006 for Africa and the Middle East.

Fancourt - Outeniqua Course
means 'Man with an abundance of Honey' and, while it is uncertain as to how the mountain range which broods over Fancourt's "second" facility acquired this name, a round of golf on the layout so named is indeed the sweetest of treats. Feature holes are the par-three 7th; played from an elevated tee to a table green; and the 17th, a fine example of a risk-reward par five where the green- seeking second shot must attempt to carry a lake.
