Nestled at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, George is home to some of South Africa’s most celebrated golf courses, including the iconic Fancourt Outeniqua Course.

Designed as a classic parklands course, Outeniqua winds through rolling fairways framed by forests and mountains, delivering breathtaking views at every turn. Frequently described by golfers as smooth, satisfying and immensely playable, it’s the kind of course that keeps you reaching for “just one more round.”
