So what makes golf in India so different?

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.

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.
