India offers about 140 golf courses, a variety of choices for golfers. It has modern course at Classic Resort in Delhi and The Royal Calcutta Golf Club is the oldest golf course outside the British Isles. Some of the best clubs in the country provide facilities of Golf. Willington Club in Bombay; the Delhi Golf Club and Madras Gymkhana to name a few. But their high membership fees and scarce availability have made Golf a status symbol in urban India. However with coming up of number of new clubs catering to Golf popularity of game has picked up.

So what makes golf in India so different? First, golf is played virtually everywhere in India, in every kind of terrain - desert, mountain, along the sea coast or in the plains - and every kind of weather - mild to extreme. You may play past historic monuments dating back to the 15th century, below looming fortresses and in the very heart of an ancient city. You might have to stop to allow a peacock to complete its mating dance on a green or strain to see a deer streak across a fairway. On an early morning you will pause to watch a flight of migratory birds or to literally catch your breath on the highest golf course in the world at a height of 2890 meters. Playing golf in India is not simply a sport - like everything else in India, it involves your entire being, both physical and spiritual.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Bombay Presidency Golf Club Limited - Mumbai

The 110-acre Bombay Presidency Golf Club at Chembur is a green haven in an otherwise urban environment. Founded in 1827 the course was redesigned by Peter Thompson to international standards. Presidency’s fairways are narrow and tight, but its greens are undoubtedly the best in the country. The real test at Presidency, however, is the variable and shifting sea breeze, which could fox even the most experienced player. It is not a difficult course; it’s not too long, not too narrow and yet not an easy course to break par. The fifth hole is one of the most challenging on this course: a 480-yard, par five, a dog leg to the right, with a fairway trap strategically placed to catch the long hitter trying to cut the corner. The drive on this has to be placed carefully. If too long and pulled, it would end up in deep trouble. With a well-placed drive around the fairway bunker, the hole, in spite of the two overhanging trees on the right, is a comfortable par five. The 416 yard, par four 11th hole is also a test of precision golfing. The player has to steer his drive through trees overhanging on either side, a short distance from the tee. The fairly tight fairway has thick scrub and trees on the left, a water hazard and an out-of-bounds on the right with perhaps the trickiest and fastest green of this course. With the pin placed towards the left edge, the approach would roll off into the thick roughs, and not even a miracle would allow a par. Of the par threes, the 17th hole is the longest at 218 yards. The green is deceptive with deep bunkers on either side, and the rippled fairway can make a loose tee shot veer sharply. Par 70, 7,132 Yards.

Bombay Presidency Golf Club remains closed on Mondays. It located at a distance of 20 – 25 Kms from all the good hotels, A Signature Course. T Shirts , jeans and metal spikes are not allowed. It has the facility of caddie , kit , buggy , umbrella and shoes.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Poona Club Golf Course, Pune

Poona Club Golf Course is one of the oldest golf courses in India, situated within half an hour’s drive from major industrial areas of Pune and very close to the airport and the railway station. Though the course is within 5 minutes drive from the city, it is in a quiet area. The courses spread over 90 acres of land,which is the largest in the Western Region. The exact date of establishment is now known, but based on available records, tournaments were being played since 1920, the first being the RWITC CUP (Royal Western India Turf Club Cup).Originally the course was spread over nearly 135 acres of land, part of which was later taken over by the Government for housing development.When the British left India, Poona Club was thinking of giving up the golf grounds, but thanks to a handful of golfing enthusiasts, the course still exists and over 30,000 trees have been planted since the course was replayed between 1980-85 during the captainship of the late Mr. C.S. Kirloskar.Competitive golf is played throughout the year and over 30 tournaments are held, the most prestigious being the Maharashtra Amateur Open Golf being played since 1957, in which leading amateur golfers from all over India participate.There are four golf courses in Pune, but the Poona Club Golf Course is the only course available to all golfers, including foreign visitors. The weather being cool and pleasant, golf is enjoyed throughout the year, unlike at many other places Pune being a major industrial town and close to Bombay, the flow of visitors is continuing all the time.The present Golf Committee has embarked upon a major task of renewing the golf course. It is planned to relay the course and raise it to international standards. Plans include converting all the browns into greens and construction of proper turfed fairways with modern irrigation systems and beautiful landscaping with more ornamental trees. One of the fastest growing cities in Maharashtra, Pune gives the tourist a good idea of the dualities present in modern India. On the one h
and it is booming with streamlined contemporary architecture and restaurants, shops and hotels that would seem more at home in the industrialized West ; on the other, the city holds on zealously to its active Indian culture and the historic heritage handed down by its erstwhile Maratha rulers. It is easily accessible from Bombay, the closest metro city by air, road and rail.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Naldehra Golf Club, Shimla

Shimla

Blessed with a vast treasure of natural bounties, Shimla the state capital of Himachal Pradesh is an ideal holiday resort for those seeking a respite from the excruciating heat of Indian summers. Located on the slopes of lower Himalayas, surrounded by green hills with snow-capped peaks, and magnificently robed in dense forests of oak, pine, fur and rhododendron, Shimla is today one of the most sought after hill stations.

No English township could be complete without a golf course. A suitable site was finally chosen close to Shimla at Naldehra (23 km). The Naldehra Golf links are one of the oldest in the country, and also the most ’sporting’ east of the Suez. Located on a spur, the Naldehra course is crowned by a beautiful grove of deodar trees, and commands a spectacular view of the Shivalik ranges. The environs at Naldehra are so serene that Lord Lytton and LordCurzon, two of India’s viceroys preferred it to their stately homes, and spent many weeks of their summer here. The Naldehra course is carpetted by a fine springy turf which requires little maintenance.

The par 68 course is basically located in a bowl and has nine holes which can be back played to 18. The longest hole is the sixth at 370 yards; and the shortest, the fifth, with a yardage of 115. The undulating landscape demands lofty and sure shots, as a stray ball would tend to roll off the hillside into the ‘out-of-bounds’ areas. The greens are extremely fast and have to be read carefully. It is difficult to master the Naldehra course as a misjudged drive would change direction on hitting the rocky part of the fairway. Hazards on the course include an artificial water tank, cliffs with greens on the edges, and a local temple. A game of golf can be pleasantly interrupted by a colourful procession of hillfolk bringing a deity from a nearby village to confer with the deity at the Naldehra temple. It is well worth spending a night or two in the log huts in Naldehra’s deodar forest. The woods are teeming with a variety of birds, and the apple orchards nearby offer fresh fruit. Naldehra is more than just a game of golf, it’s a complete outdoor holiday.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Classic Golf Resorts and Club

The Classic Golf Resort has been constructed according to international standards and is world class in every respect. The process of sourcing construction material to meet international standards and the process of sending soil, sand, water, manure and grass samples overseas to recommended Nicklaus Research centers for tests was completed in 1996 before the course opened officially for play.

Classic Golf Resort is set amidst the foot hills of the Aravali, Mother Nature’s own hillocks and knolls make for natural golfing country…lending themselves ideally to enticing fairways, cunning greens and engaging waterways…enough to quicken any serious golfer’s heart. Both professionals and leisure golfers can discover the joys and challenges of golf at this 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

Special Tiff way 419 and Tiff Dwarf grass used world-wide on Nicklaus courses has been planted and multiplied under the full care and guidance of Nicklaus agronomists. Rainbird, the world leaders in golf course irrigation, laid down CGR’s irrigation network. The installed set up consists of computerized system with satellite controls for remote operation of sprinkler head groups and rain water run off protection, making CGR virtually self sufficient in its irrigation needs.

Jack’s philosophy behind Classic Golf resort was to create a great and unique golf course by mixing shot value and blending holes which rewards the player who uses his intelligence and favors precision over power.

The course is well balanced with holes that vary in direction, “look” and “feel” so that one type of golfer isn’t favored over another. The course rewards strategic, intelligent thinking as much as fine ball striking and the holes are designed to enable golfers to make precise decisions in club selection and execution of each shot.

Preserving the land’s natural character was also paramount and the natural features have been integrated into the design. The majority of the holes follow the existing contours of the site in order to make the course as enjoyable and user friendly as possible.

India’s most prestigious golf tournament, The Wills Indian Open was held at Classic Golf Resort for the first time in 2000.

Aiming to provide leisure and entertainment of high standards, the DLF Golf and Country Club, India’s first night Golf Course is today ranked as the best in the Country as also amongst the leading Golf Courses in Asia.

Situated at the foothills of the gently rolling Aravalli Range, the 7250 - yard golf course carries the distinctive signature of the King of Golf, Arnold Palmer With its unique layout and picturesque surroundings, the DLF golf course offers challenging play for golfers of all skill levels and a natural beauty that envelops your senses.

Night golfers tee off from the manicured parkland style course that boasts of five lakes, 14000 trees and waterfalls. The 18 hole, par 72 Arnold Palmer signature course, thus, joined the world League of Nations that have night golfing courses. The 7250 - yard course with white-sand bunkers carries the distinct signature of the King of golf, Arnold Palmer - with buffers between fairways, water bodies and in total harmony with nature.

The ‘King’ has made a course that has few equals in the world. Landscaped by Belt Collins, the course has been developed and landscaped by Ranjit Nanda Associates. The result is a golfscape integrated with the surrounding natural environment, with extensive use of local material and in harmony with nature.

The varieties of grass selected for DLF Golf Course are based on their ability to cope with vagaries of the weather, tolerance to disease and pest attack and also colour holding capacity in winter, summer spring and monsoon.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Delhi Golf Club

Delhi Golf Club is perhaps the only Golf Club in the world dotted with the monuments of great historic and archeological value. This course was originally called the ‘Lodhi Golf Course’. In the 1930’s the British ordered their Chief of the Horticulture Department to design a course amongst the picturesque surroundings of the Tombs of the Lodhi Dynasty of Delhi which date back to the 15th century. The character of the course lies in the rich fauna and flora that it has on either side of the fairways thereby giving prime importance to accuracy in the game. It has two courses now viz. The Main course, known as the ‘LODHI COURSE’ and a short Course which has been christened as ‘THE PEACOCK COURSE’. Beside this the club has every facility of bar & catering, a swimming pool and recently a new pub and a health club has been added to provide more facilities to the members

Originally located in an area more than twice its present size, the course at the Delhi Golf Club was consolidated to its present 220 acres in 1950. Like the rest of Delhi, its golf course is also laid out on a part of India’s history. Carved out of a portion, which was the estate of the Lodhi rulers, it has in its precincts a collection of interesting tombs and monuments. The Delhi Golf course is also a sanctuary for over 300 species of birds, and the rain dance of the colorful peacock or the scurrying of a partridge often startles the golfer. Planted with a variety of over 200 trees, the Delhi course is the most lush in the country, and its sandy loam has produced a rich turf good for the exacting fairway shorts. The 6,972 yards, par 72, 18 hole golf course was redesigned by Peter Thompson in 1977-78 and got a major fillip when it was chosen to host the first ever golf tournament at the Asian Games in 1982. More than 500 golfers walk into history every day as they play the country’s busiest course. The club also has a nine-hole B course, used primarily by beginners. The first hole on the main course is a 522 yards par five, which doglegs to the left around a thorny bush rough. A bunker placed a good 180 yards from the tee is the marker for the drive. The second shot has to negotiate the narrow elbow, which has thick bushes on either side or a trap in front. It’s best to use an iron on this stroke and keep the ball in play. You are still a good 100 odd yards from the green, which looks deceptively distant because of the mound in front of it. The green itself is very fast and tilts on either side. The 378 yards, par four, second hole, is intriguing. If you take the tiger line, you have a long carry over some grasping trees, but then an easy shot to a sporting green, fast in some parts and slow in some. The par three holes on the course are fairly simple with the exception of the 12th, which is on a plateau with a deep hazard in front where water and slush are allowed to accumulate during the winter and thick s
crub abounds in summer. The oval green on the 12th is also one of the most interesting with dips, slopes and ripples making it fast and difficult to read. The 17th hole is an easy par 3, the tee off for which is located near a Lodhi Tomb, and the green of which requires a lofted shot by three bunkers, one almost five feet deep. The 16th a long par four is among the most testing on the course. The drive needs to carry a good 210 yards to enable the player to take a regulation on the second shot. The drive is constricted by a narrow doglegged fairway and needs to clear the two-neem trees paced at the center of the elbow. Should your drive fail to clear the trees, the green is obstructed by the trees on the left, thorny rough on the right and a huge mud hill in the center. Most of India’s modern history was written in Delhi.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Madras Gymkhana Club

The Madras Gymkhana Club was founded in 1886. Unique in that it is situated with in the 2,400-meter oval of the Guindy racecourse, it offers a challenging game. The fairways at Guindy are flat and fast and encircled by the out-of-bounds race track. The greens are lush and well maintained and also strategically located,mostly along the track. Hazards on the course include thick roughs, bunkers and water tanks, but unpredictable obstructions like the racehorses on their workouts. The first hole on this course is an easy looking par four at 415 yards. it, however, takes a calculated and well-lofted drive to avoid the bunkers placed on the fairway, 130 yards from the tee. The second hole is an easy par three at 170 yards, with tricky green, at a gradient of almost 30 degrees. However, the most sporting hole on the Guindy course is the third at 512 yards, par five. The hole doglegs dangerously to the left around a large water tank. The first and second shot call for a straight and long drive, the third half chip over the tank brings the green in view. A bunker wickedly traps the green on this hole in front and rough in the rear, and needs a wheel chipped ball to drop on the center of the green. The Guindy course, easy as it may seem, requires a firm hitter and a sure putter to tackle the tough fairways and fast greens. The player is allowed two preferred fairway lies on the par fives and one on a par four.

Home > Golf Courses in India > Cosmopolitan Golf Club

It is in very good shape. The well-elevated greens slope from top to bottom and are mainly fast. The fairways are a blend of green and brown but get really brown in summer due to an acute water shortage. The golf course allows preferred lies and the tree lined fairways make the game interesting. The best time to play here is between August and January. There is a drain that runs through the course that actually divides the course into two, which makes the game all the more exciting.

The Cosmopolitan Golf Annex at Saidapet has a par 72, 18-hole course. Spread over an area of 75 acres, a variety of trees run along the fairways which are tight for the first nine holes but open out for the back nine. Peter Thompson has redesigned the well-laid cosmopolitan course with a liberal use of lateral water hazards. The first hole is a 371 yards, par 4, dog leg around a water tank. It’s best to use a three iron to place the ball at the elbow, which will give you an easy approach
shot. Like most of the greens on the course, the first is also thick and slow, and requires firm and sure putts. The fifth hole is a test even for the seasoned golfer. A 432 yard, par four, it has the tightest fairway, with a thick row of trees running along on the left and an out-of-bounds fence to the right. The first drive has to be lofted well over the trees to fade into the fairway.
