1 THE LINKS AT FANCOURT Simple but sensational. Beautiful remote setting in the middle of the links, with delicious food. Unusual too, like fresh tuna. 2 BLAIR ATHOLL Unique al fresco dining on the banks of the Crocodile River. Don’t have breakfast before teeing off. 3 LEOPARD CREEK Good catering at the back of the clubhouse which can disrupt pace of play. It feels hard to leave for the tenth tee. A great meeting place for members offering a superb choice of meals, including freshly fried fish & chips, a popular dish. 5 STEYN CITY There’s no halfway house as such. Tasty food served inside or outside the clubhouse. Golfers order at first tee. 6 HERMANUS A busy area during the day in summer offering a wide variety of wholesome fare. Tasty meat pies. 4 COUNTRY CLUB JOHANNESBURG 7 ROYAL JOHANNESBURG Tasty buffet of hot and cold food provided in comfortable surroundings. 8 ATLANTIC BEACH Halfway is like being at your local coffee shop with a buzzing ambience and interesting menu. 9 PEARL VALLEY Golfers can order before the round.
