Mount Edgecombe Country Club


Mount Edgecombe Country Club Golf Course 1, Umhlanga, KwaZulu Natal / Mount Edgecombe Country Club consists of two championship courses - Mount Edgecombe One and Mount Edgecombe Two. Both these courses have their own clubhouses.

Course 1
The 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.

The Course
Character Parkland layout with many exotic trees, formerly known as Huletts CC, until converted to a residential estate in the early 90s. Begins with four shortish holes, then builds in strength right to the finish.

Signature Hole
There are three special holes that constitute the course's "Amen Corner" from the 14th to 16th, where water hazards come into play. The first one is a par 5 with water guarding the green, followed by a par 3 across water, and a par 4 where a dam must be carried to reach the fairway.

Course 2
Mount Edgecombe Country Club Golf Course 2, Umhlanga, KwaZulu Natal / Mount Edgecombe Country Club consists of two championship courses - Mount Edgecombe One and Mount Edgecombe Two. Both these courses have their own clubhouses. Mount Edgecombe Two's Club House overlooks the Pani Dam where, if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the resident fish eagles.

The Course
The new number 2 course opened at the end of 1997, very undulating and different from the No 1 course, with indigenous bush in places, although it also has its share of imposing water hazards. Has its own small clubhouse overlooking the Pani Dam where fish eagles can be spotted.


Signature Hole
The ninth is a long and narrow par 4 that has water all along the left side of the hole, and thick bush on the right.
