South African golf courses - Durban Country Club

The golf course was designed and constructed in 1922 by George Waterman and Laurie Walters. The course is a challenging layout in a sub tropical setting and has reverential status all over the world. In 1992 it received 52nd place in "Golf Magazine's" biennial rankings of top international golf courses.

The undulating fairways are bordered by lush vegetation and several species of indigenous trees. It has indigenous Umgeni grass greens that are amongst the truest and finest putting surfaces in South Africa. The wind, which can blow form any direction, can be a great influence on the difficulty of the course. The maintenance and condition of the course has always been outstanding with the par 5 third hole acknowledged as one of the best in the country.
