Royal Durban is
a links type golf course and is one of the very few golf courses to be
sited in the middle of a horseracing track. The Club was established in
1892 as the Durban Golf Club. The Club was granted “Royal” status in
April 1932 following a visit and a round of golf from the then Prince of
Wales in 1925. The course was
rebuilt in 1932 and the layout was designed by Bob Grimsdell who qualified
as a course architect at Colt & Allison of London, Paris & New
York. The course is
known for it’s punishing rough as it is the only defense it has, (apart
from the prevailing Southerly winds) as large or bulky trees and bushes
are not allowed for the simple reason that they would obscure the view of
the race track. |
