Extra info
The Durban Country Club golf course is still today - despite the serious competition in George and Sun City - the best golf course in South Africa. No other golf club has hosted the South African Open and other important tournaments as often as Durban. The course lies directly at the beach of the Indian Ocean and has been masterly fashioned into the dunes. It was opened in 1922 and updated 1959. Many of the holes are positively difficult. The 12th with its steeply raised green is also called the Prince of Wales hole. The Prince who played here in 1924, needed 17 strokes, until the ball was eventually in the hole.
