Description
The Durban Country Club boasts 2 championship course; namely the Durban Country club course and the Durban Country Club Beachwood Course.
The Durban Country club (DCC) course remains one of South Africa’s premier golf courses and has hosted the S.A Open championships 14 times. Situated along the shores of the Indian Ocean, this semi-links course has been carved into the dunes. The course is both scenic and demanding and to score well you have to play well. The strong onshore winds that blow through the valley don’t help either!
Playing the Course
Elevated tees and greens are guarded by an array of tropical bushes, tall trees and large bunkers. This, together with the narrow fairways and steep slopes make for a challenging course. This is not a golf course where you come to learn the game of golf! The Durban Country Club is definitely geared towards the more experienced golfer.
A particular talking point is the par 5 third - it is rated the best third in the world. Playing from a high tee to a narrow fairway with dense bush and a predatory bunker on the left hand side you’ll see why it is the most popular and most photographed hole on the course.
