South African Golf Courses - Mount Edgecombe Golf Course

Only 5 minutes from Umhlanga beach and 25 minutes from the Durban City Center, Mount Edgecombe is situated on the rolling hills of Kwazulu-Natal's Dolphin Coast. This majestic setting provides for 360 degrees of spectacular scenery from many aspects of the golf course. The course was designed by the architects: Biocchi, Falkson & Barnard.
The course at Mount Edgecombe is the only one in South Africa that has Royal Blue grass from tee to green. Designed to USGA specifications some of the features of the course is its interesting layout, attractive water features, superb greens and the unforgiving rough that demands accurate golf. The fairways sweep between densely massed pines, tall gum trees and beautiful shrubs.
The 14th hole a par 5 that is reachable in 2, but the big trees and water to the left of the green can easily turn a 4 into a 6 or 7. The 165-meter 9th and 156 meter 15th are two outstanding par 3's. They require a bold and straight tee shot over a vast expanse of water.
