Durban Country Club offers its members world class sports and leisure facilities in a people friendly environment that provides fun and relaxation with family and friends

About the Club:

The name Durban Country Club conjures up images of tradition, fine dining, superb location, exclusive quality and golf ? especially golf. In any golfer?s book, Durban Country Club ranks as one of the finest courses in the world.

While all this is true, the Club offers so much more than an exclusive sanctuary in which to socialize, play golf and indulge in fine dining.

The landmark Cape Dutch styled Club House is in the process of being refurbished and expanded to include a world class Lifestyle Centre which will include state of the art gym facilities as well as spa, reflexology, aromatherapy and massage.

The planned upgrade and expansions of the facilities will transform the club from a fine Durban establishment to an unparalleled leisure and lifestyle destination, while still retaining all of the charm and prestige that the Club represents.

About the Course:

Opened in 1922, the Durban Country Club is said to be one of the best golf courses in South Africa (ranked #4 in 2004) and is acknowledged to have the best third hole in the world, has hosted the S.A Open championships 14 times! The course is both scenic and demanding and to score well you have to play well.

Situated along the shores of the Indian Ocean, this semi-links course has been carved into the dunes. With its dense bush, indigenous trees and undulating fairways it is hard to believe that this spectacular championship course is actually situated in the centre of Durban.

Extremely challenging to the most skilled golfer, the course will be enjoyed, but rarely mastered. 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 hole on the course.

The course is open 365 days a year during the morning, but those wishing to play should make sure that they book by telephone in advance. Clubs can be hired and golf carts are available. The dress is ?smart casual? and no t-shirts or jeans are allowed.
