THE GOLF …
Fancourt is home to three Gary Player-designed courses and an exceptional golf academy that houses the only TaylorMade Fitment Centre in Africa, backed up by the expertise of PGA professionals. The Links was recently voted “30th Best Golf Course in the World” and the “Top Golf Course in Africa” by the prestigious Golf Digest US in their Planet Golf “100 Best Courses Outside The U.S” 2012. Gary Player, who received the PGA Tour's Lifetime Achievement award, last year, describes Fancourt as “home of perhaps my greatest achievement as a golf course designer, The Links”. The Links hosted the European Tour’s Volvo Golf Champions in January 2012. Fancourt’s other two courses, Montagu and Outeniqua are currently ranked 7th and 17th in South Africa.
Steenberg is home to the acclaimed Peter Matkovich designed Steenberg Golf Course, an 18-hole Championship course with greens rumoured to be the best in Cape Town. Steenberg has enjoyed a string of major international accolades over the past few years, including being voted Best Luxury Hotel in Africa in 2011 by www.TripAdvisor.com, and being named as “#1 Hotel in Africa 2011” and “Top Foreign Golf Resort 2012” by Condé Nast Traveler US. Steenberg’s course is distinguished by its unique natural terrain and environmental diversity that optimizes the natural features and hazards of the estate, offering superb views across the vineyards towards the Stone Mountain, with the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
*Free Golf/spa vouchers only apply to full paying adults.

“Minutes from Cape Town, Miles from the World”, award-winning Steenberg is set on the Cape’s oldest farm – an idyllic setting surrounded by mountains, vineyards and the rolling greens of the Steenberg golf course, with views stretching down to False Bay. Not only is the hotel steeped in history with The Manor House being declared actual National Monuments, but its authentic Cape-Dutch style ensures guests get a real sense of place rather than being at a luxury international hotel. Steenberg has an award-winning restaurant Catharina’s which has a contemporary look and feel, a brand new bubbly bar “Gorgeous by Graham Beck” which is proving popular with the fashionable set in Cape Town and the Bistro-style cellar door restaurant Bistro Sixteen82 which offers tapas style dining (a celebration of contemporary design, water and glass perfect for alfresco dining and great for families). Guests can enjoy the 18-hole Peter Matkovich championship golf course (consistently regarded as one of the finest courses in Cape Town and South Africa) and indulgent Ginko Spa. A haven of peace and tranquillity – just 20 minutes from Cape Town airport and the buzz and shops of the Mother City. For more information go to www.steenberghotel.com
