Why you need to go to Grimaldi’s at the Durban Country Club!

When last did you pop into a Country Club?

If you always believed it to be too elitist, well you will be pleasantly surprised, especially when you pop down to the iconic and historic Durban Country Club, just around the corner from Moses Mabhida Stadium. 

The Durban Country Club offers an unrivalled golfing experience, catering to golf enthusiasts and professionals. And with its world class sporting and leisure facilities, the Club is a fitness hub, social retreat and place of entertainment and relaxation for the whole family.
