[Facts] Re: fancourt
The golf course seems to be a dead end, I'm afraid. In the 1840s a mountain pass was being constructed between the towns of George (almost on the coast) and Oudtshoorn (known for its ostrich farms); a lot of manual labour was needed, convicts mostly, and good engineers to get it over the steep and tricky mountains. Henry Fancourt White was in charge during that time; he was a surveyor.George got a royal name, like many other colonial towns. The Fancourt golf course has only existed for about the last 30 years; it's a good name for a very expensive sports and residential resort, you will agree.Sorry that the only information I've got is negative ... good hunting, and keep us informed.
