The Links at Fancourt

With hole names like “Wee Wrecker” and “Calamity,” The Links at Fancourt has the aura of challenge from the start. Kalos Golfers were up to the test, and many remarked that The Links ranks with the best courses they have played; high praise indeed. And, while there is certainly trouble to be found on The Links – deep pot bunkers and long scrub outside the second cut – it is precisely for the appreciation of risk that courses like The Links earn their mythic status. Just as on all links courses with their hollows, bumps and hidden danger, there are places to hit to, places to avoid. Roll comes with the territory and sometimes you can simply hit it too far…or too short. The Links at Fancourt is a gorgeously manicured, wonderful overall golf experience, a pure delight that we could play over and over again.

After play, we returned to The Links clubhouse for dinner overlooking the 18th green. A fabulous finish to a perfect day in South Africa.
