Mount Edgecombe Country Club (CC) consists of 2 championship courses - Mount Edgecombe CC One and Mount Edgecombe CC Two. Both these courses have their own clubhouses with Mount Edgecombe CC Two overlooking the Pani Dam where, if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the resident Fish Eagles.
Mount Edgecombe’s Course One, formerly the Hullets Country Club, was redesigned by Hugh Baiocchi and incorporates a residential estate in an ecologically maintained environment. This is one of the few courses in South Africa designed to USGA specifications. The course is characterized by attractive water features and large, multi-tiered greens planted with Country Club grass.
The 479 meter par-five is an outstanding hole with out-of-bounds both to the left and right of the fairway and the drive is particularly daunting. Once the brow of the hill has been successfully negotiated, the olfer faces another challenge - which is whether to go for the green or lay up short of the water. A large man-made pond lurks hard on the left of the putting surface, and a creek which feeds this reservoir bisects the fairway just short of the green. The 9th and 15th are outstanding par-threes, both requiring bold, straight tee shots over vast expanses of water.
The signature holes of this parkland course are also known as "Amen corner". They consist of the 14th to 16th and water hazards play a part in all 3 of them. Water guards the green on the par-five 14th followed by a dam that has to be carried to reach both the par-three 15th and par-four 16th.
Course Two has its fair share of water hazards and is fairly undulating but different from its sister course. This course is a lot wilder in terms of surrounding vegetation and wildlife, with an abundance of bird life. Indigenous trees and shrubs border the fairways.
Mount Edgecombe Golf Course and Country Club is neatly tucked away in the rolling hills of Kwa-Zulu Natal North Coast, inland of Umhlanga Rocks.
