SPECIAL GUEST.

Traditionally, the BMW Golf Cup World Final also welcomes a real golfing legend, a special guest who has made golf history will hold an exclusive golf clinic for the world finalists, where he will give them tips and tricks, and the opportunity for an informal chat.

 

And it will of course be this special guest who also hosts the award ceremony at the closing gala dinner and hands over the trophies – from champion to champion. Because every competitor is a winner at the BMW Golf Cup World Final, everyone will have plenty of time to meet the special guest at the gala dinner and take home a souvenir photo.

 

It has not yet been revealed which golf legend will do the honours at the World Final. But one thing is certain, everyone taking part and all the guests can look forward to this surprise.

COUNTRY & PEOPLE.

South Africa is a dream destination. With its majestic mountain ranges, jagged cliffs, and fine sandy beaches, the country offers a unique wealth of natural landscapes. Particularly impressive is the picturesque Garden Route, which stretches from Still Bay in the Western Cape to Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park in the Eastern Cape along the Indian Ocean, with its lush vegetation and extensive tree population. The Cape of Good Hope in the southwest of the country is world-famous. Then there are the exciting metropolises of Cape Town and Johannesburg with their unique flair. The breathtaking landscapes and spectacular cities alone would be reason enough to visit this fascinating country.

 

But it is the friendliness and openness of the people that makes South Africa a corner of the earth that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Owing to its ethnic and cultural diversity, South Africa is also known as the "Rainbow Nation". This is what makes the people open and welcoming towards visitors.

FANCOURT RESORT.

The five-star resort is characterised by its comfort, first-class luxury, and an extensive portfolio of recreational facilities. In addition to the three award-winning golf courses "Montagu", "Outeniqua", and "The Links", guests can enjoy exclusive restaurants, an extensive spa area, and various sports activities.

The main thing that stands out about the "Outeniqua" course completed in 1997 is its optical diversity. "Outeniqua" features water, small valleys, undulating fairways, and dense trees. The short holes with their numerous bunkers make the game both particularly challenging and an extraordinary experience.

The "Montagu" course is the more challenging of the two courses. The greens are very fast in places and are guarded by many bunkers. The 17th hole was a recreation of the 12th hole of Augusta. The whole course is framed by the magnificent backdrop of the Outeniqua mountains and is characterised by water hazards and large, bunkered greens.
