Durban
Beachwood Golf Course
Beachwood Country Club - as it was known before - has
now become The Durban Country Club Beachwood Course and
is part of Durban Country Club lying about 2 km north
of DCC. Although it borders the Indian Ocean, Beachwood
does not quite have the accentuated undulating fairways
so common to Links courses, especially those of the Country
Club Course.
The large trees and thick shrubbery that line the narrow
fairways will keep any golfer honest. The fairways are
challengingly long and straight with bunkers and some
severe slopes. The front nine, which includes the 10th
hole before the halfway house, is particularly tight through
the protected mangrove swamp. This par four, of 383m,
demands accuracy off the tee as the fairway is well protected
on the right by thick bush while two sand bunkers surround
the greens. The course opens up from the 11th and the
'back' nine is far more forgiving.
The par-four 6th signature hole is both demanding and
long. Teeing off from an elevated tee to the fairway 20m
below is tricky! This 410m hole has it all and you’ll
have to navigate a dogleg, a stream, bushes and a water
hazard on the way to a green protected by bunkers on the
right.
The sixth and ninth fairways both have a dog-leg left
to consider whereas the other fairways are all straight.
There are 41 bunkers around the greens, and 33 fairway
bunkers waiting for wayward shots. Four of the holes are
blessed with water features and most fairways are lined
with trees.
