Just to stand on the clubhouse verandah and look out over the outgoing first fairway, and the pristine 18th green to the left with its undulating fairway behind, picking up the breath of the sea as it drifts in from your right, makes one lose all sense of reality and time One conjures up the crowds, the agonies and ecstasies on these demanding holes, and the great men who left their divots behind on these hallowed, unrelenting playing fields carved into these once sand dunes, and then you realise you are here - Durban Country Club Not in their wildest dreams could Messrs. Waterman and Waters the architects ever have imagined that their creation would make such a remarkable contribution to the world of golf In any golfer's books, Durban Country Club rates as one of the finest courses in the world, let alone Africa, or even South Africa Rated as the second best course in the Southern Hemisphere by Golf International's panel, there is little argument to this definitive statement Underlining that is the 462m par 5 third hole - the most popular, most photographed, and called the best third hole in the world by some, and the best par 5 in golf by others No wonder that Durban Country Club has hosted more South African Open Championships (14) than any other course selected for this desirable honour The course lies adjacent to the beach onto which the Indian Ocean gently pushes its waves, separated only by a freeway linking the Northern suburbs with the city. It has a merry mix of tall trees, thick bush, severe slopes, undulating fairways that sometimes resemble rolling waves, and some very clever tee positions, with the ever penalising bunkers lying in wait With all due respects to golf's more humble servants, this is possibly not the place you go to learn how to play golf. For the more experienced golfer it is a treat and a treasure trove of memories - a challenge where you remember every shot you played for years to come.
