Fancourt – Outeniqua
Share
Outeniqua is one of two majestic 18-hole Parkland layouts at Fancourt. Designed by legendary Grand Slam golfer Gary Player, it is similar in character to its sibling Montagu, and its challenging design and fine conditioning will ensure an excellent test for all levels of golfers. As with all courses at Fancourt, there are a variety of tees from which to choose to play, ensuring that golfers are unlikely to ever feel overpowered by the course.
As with Montagu, play is restricted to hotel residents, members and their guests, so you are unlikely to ever feel crowded on the course, however, it is 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. Please note that to improve your playing enjoyment and to ensure a steady pace-of-play, it is mandatory for at least two caddies to accompany each fourball, and one caddy per twoball.

TESTIMONIALS

Dear Mariska
Euan and Seumus are driving back from the most spectacular weekend ever. Not only was the accommodation first class, but the arrangements you made for their golf exceeded all expectations. Could you please convey their thanks and appreciation to the owners of the guest house.
Without a doubt they will be back, we will check when Seumus has university holidays as we are hoping it will coincide with your March programme.
Thank you so much for everything, you lead the pack when it comes to top notch service.

Dear Mariska
We have just returned to London after a wonderful golf holiday on the Garden Route.
As usual your organisation was faultless and the whole holiday was a seamless experience. We are now trying to adjust to freezing temperatures in UK.
Once again thank you for your superbly organised holiday.

Dear Mariska
Many Many thanks for our most successful holiday. We enjoyed every moment except the one when we had to leave. Now we are at our cottage 600 km north of Espoo where we live. Our first day on skis is over and we start soon to celebrate Christmas. We decided that we will come back next November. I hope that we can rely on Your good sevices.
Meanwhile we wish You a merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Mariska, jy was ‘n ster, dankie vir wat jy alles vir ons gedoen het.
Laat weet my van enige skade wat ons by Ambleside of in die dorp aangerig het sodat ek kan goedmaak!
As daar geld oor is wil ek he jy moet ‘n ekstra R 1000 vir jou moeites uithou.
Weereens dankie. Sien uit na ‘n volgende keer.

Hi Mariska,
We are back home in UK now, had a great time in SA and everything went well with our golf in the Garden Route, although we managed to change our golf days at Pinnacle Point and George due to ‘torrential downpours’………..much needed I know but it did rain for 5 of the 6 days we were there……though not when we played golf,so all was well.
We will certainly consider using your company again when visiting SA although we might choose different accommodation. The Golf Lodge and Town Lodge were very nice but didn’t quite meet our needs…..but it was all very good value.
Best regards
John
