72 - Mount Edgecombe Country Club (Woods)

Location: Durban, South Africa

Rating: 7.9

Mount Edgecombe is a pretty golfing set up in one of the more premium estates in Durban. It has two courses, The Woods (One) and The Lakes (Two). I played The Woods which is the longer of the two. We played here after a few days of heavy rain so the fairways were a little wet but to be fair they’d drained pretty well.

The course otherwise is in great condition, the greens were pretty fast and the pace of play was pretty good. The par 3 15th is a tough little island green which is a cool hole to play. Otherwise it is a fairly open course without too much bush so you’d struggle to lose a ball.

There’s a really nice clubhouse, with a pretty festive atmosphere. I think a lot of business gets done on this course.

The facilities here are great. There’s a driving range where you can hit off the grass and also separate pitching area and then two large putting greens.
