Description
Available in:
Durban Country Club has long been recognised internationally as South Africa’s premier classic golf course. Opened for play in 1922, it currently occupies a place in Golf Digest’s ranking of the 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World outside the United States.
Country Club was a masterpiece of original design work on what is sublime undulating terrain alongside the Indian Ocean coastline, with a wonderful balance to the holes from first to last.
Country Club began in the 1920s as a links-style treeless championship layout among the sand dunes. In the fashion of that time, the holes play out to the furthest point and then back to the clubhouse for the first time at No 18. The halfway house is in the middle of the course. Two years after opening it hosted the 1924 SA Open. There have been another 16 since then.
A magnificent clubhouse is part of the Country Club “look.” The stately building stands hard up against the first tee and 18th green, adding to the atmosphere of the venue. Today the course is an island encircled by busy roads, yet it continues to retain its reputation as a magical place to play.
