Durban Country Club
Course Description:
This course is steeped in history and tradition, Durban Country Club boasts the unique claim of being the only course on the African continent to be rated in the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World by Golf Magazine USA. It has also been rated in the Top 5 golf courses in South Africa by Golf Digest SA.
A combination of lush coastal vegetation, sand dunes and stunning views of the Indian Ocean make this course one of the most unique, and challenging, in the world. One of the defining characteristics of Durban Country Club is the massive undulations on the fairways, especially noticeable on the 5th, 8th and 17th holes. Offering a typical links layout, the coastal sand dunes on which the course is built, offer an interesting and sometimes difficult round to both the amateur and pro golfer alike.
