The Bramble Hill Golf Course

Bramble Hill is the fourth course at Fancourt, but it has a character all of its own. Built in response to a need for an 18-hole facility that would be accessible to the community of George and surrounding areas, Bramble Hill is truly a public golf course in the sense that there are no restrictions on who can play at any given time.

Bramble Hill offers a golf experience that is relaxed and friendly, without any "private country club" intimidation! The course itself is challenging enough to test the most proficient golfer, yet it is sure to be an enjoyable round even for beginners.

Bramble Hill shares six holes with the Fancourt Golf Academy at the moment, but plans are underway to create six new holes adjacent to Bramble Hills 12 holes, which will mean that it will feature its own entire 18-hole layout in the near future.

The course shares many characteristics with its highly pedigreed sibling The Links, with undulating fairways, raised greens and a number of treacherous water hazards and can be exposed to the typically fresh Southern Cape winds.

Unique to South African layouts, Bramble Hill has a fun "practice hole" between the 10th and 11th holes, which is a character-filled little par three where golfers are given a respite from the concentration of the round - or it is a place to have a little mid-game wager with your playing partners.

In keeping with Fancourt, Bramble Hill features a modern, facility rich clubhouse, as well as a well-stocked pro shop, with a wide range of competitively priced golf merchandise. On hand to offer expert advice are a number of resident PGA professionals, headed up by Jayde Tannous. Among the assistants are Tyronne Farell, Werner Bernardt, Wynand Myburgh and Francois de Lange.

Greenfees for 18 holes are R220 for non-SAGA affiliated; R130 for affiliated golfers. Bramble Hill has reciprocity with a number of golf clubs in the Southern Cape. Members of these clubs are charged R40 for 18 holes.
