Mount Edgecombe GC

Mount Edgecombe Country Club

Mount Edgecombe Country Club has two 18-hole championship courses, and the older Course One was upgraded about 20 years ago when the Mount Edgecombe residential estate was initially developed. Mount Edgecombe Course One is a parkland layout, and this extremely attractive golf course has hosted numerous amateur as well as professional tournaments and will, therefore, test
any level of golfer. With four sets of tees, the course is playable by golfers of any handicap. Three Holes are worthy
of special mention as they constitute No.1’s “Amen Corner” between the 14th and 16th holes. The first one of these is a par five where water protects the green then it’s followed by a par three that requires a full carry across more water. Completing this trio of testing holes, the 16th is a tough two-shotter where the tee shot has to avoid a small dam en route to the green.

Plans for the second championship golf course started in 1994. Daysen, De Villiers and Van der Merwe were entrusted with designing the championship course directly south of the established Estate 1 course. Course 2 was launched at the end of ’97 and is far more undulated and different from the No 1 course of the estate, with native bush in locations, and its proportion of water hazards that are strategically placed to catch out even the finest golfers. This course has its own tiny clubhouse admiring the Pani Dam, where you can spot the fish eagles.

An incredible stay and play option in the Durban region of South Africa
