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 in the country's busiest
course. The Club also has

Course in Chandigarh was conceived
in the 50's, it took almost
10 years for it to take shape.
In 1960 a piece of land was
allotted and the club was
established with an initial
membership of just 10 Golfers.
The 09 Hole course was enlarged
to 12, when the benevolent
governor - who surrendered
a major chunk of land from
his official resident - granted
additional land to the club
in 1966. It was only as late
as September 1983 that a regular
18 Hole PAR 72 Course was
finally laid out over Sprawling
132 Acres. Afternoon return
to hotel. Overnight at hotel.
Day 06 - Chandigarh - Shimla

during British Raj & no
English Township could be
completed without a golf course.
A suitable site was finally
chosen at Naldehra which is
23 KMS away from Shimla. Course
is carpeted by a fine spirgy
turf, which requires little
maintenance. The PAR 68 Course
is basically located in a
bowl & has 09 Holes, which
can be back played to 18.

Day 08 - Shimla - Delhi

Day 09 - Delhi - Calcutta
Transfer to airport for flight
to Calcutta. On arrival transfer
to hotel. Afternoon city tour.
Overnight at hotel.
Day 10 - Calcutta
After breakfast transfer to
Royal Calcutta Course. This
course was originally paddy
field hence consequently is
very flat. Successive Committees
have built mounds and planted
thousands of trees and shrubs.
But the Royal's conspicuous
features are its strategically
located water tanks and natural
water hazards. The most significant
are the two large tanks across
the tenth Fairway, the 457
yards PAR 04 hole. From the
tee, the tiger line is over
the first tank and must carry
all of 230 yards. The after
route to the right leaves
a very long second shot over
the second tank, a good 100
yards wide, to a small undulating
green wickedly trapped all
around. Return back to hotel
to relax, dine and overnight
stay.
Day 11 - Calcutta - Chennai
Morning transfer to airport
to connect flight to Chennai.
On arrival transfer to hotel.
Afternoon sight seeing tour
of Chennai city. Overnight
hotel.
Day 12 - Chennai
After breakfast transfer to
Madras Gymkhana Club, it was
founded in 1886. Unique in
that it is situated within
the 2400metre 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 racetrack. The greens
are lush and well maintained
and also strategically located,
mostly along the track. Hazards
on the course include not
only thick rough, bunders
and water tanks, but also
unpredictable obstructions
like the racehorses on their
workouts. The first hole on
this course is a heavy looking
PAR 04 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
03 at 170 yards, with a tricky
green, at the gradient of
almost 30 degrees. Overnight
to be spent at hotel.
Day 13 - Chennai
golf-in-india Free day to
explore Chennai city, optional
tour to Mahabalipuram or revisit
to golf club. Overnight Chennai.
Day 14 - Chennai - Coimbatore

hours drive will take you
to Ooty, a hill stations in
South India. On arrival check
in into the hotel. Dinner
and overnight at hotel.
Day 15 - Ooty
After breakfast proceed to
Ooty Golf Course, it follows
the soft contours of downland,
with it's tonsured effect
of tree - bare heights, ringed
with gorse and thickly wooded
copses of Eucalyptus, Oak
Rhododendron and fir in the
Hollows. The altitude of 7600
feet a few degrees above the
equator, provides a combination
of light/thin air which is
near intoxicant, and the ball
travels much further than
it would in plains because
of the rarefied atmosphere.
The Ooty Golf course is not
only scenic but also quite
tiring and it would be wise
for the visitor to play only
09 of the 18 holes on the
01st day. Dinner & overnight
at hotel.
Day 16 - Ooty - Bangalore
Drive from Ooty to Bangalore,
visiting beautiful country
- side. Overnight at hotel
in Bangalore.
Day 17 - Bangalore
After breakfast transfer to
Bangalore Golf Club. The 18-hole
course, started with browns,
which were later converted
to greens. Scarcity of water
in the area is a major constraint
and the course has very few
water hazards. Besides trees
and deep ditches, the major
hazard on the course is the
Bangalore crow, which often
picks up the ball, mistaking
it for an egg. It is therefore,
not surprising that the logo
of the Bangalore Golf Club
depicts a crow with a ball
in its beak. Overnight at
hotel.
Day 18 - Banglore - Mumbai
(Bombay)
Transfer to airport for flight
to Mumbai. On arrival transfer
to hotel. Afternoon city tour.
Overnight at hotel.
Day 19 - Mumbai
After breakfast transfer to
Bombay presidency Golf Club,
A green heaven amidst a concrete
jungle. The 110 acre founded
in 1827, the PAR 70, 18 hole
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 5th hole is one of the
most challenging on this Mumbai
Course. A 480 yard, PAR 05,
a dog leg to the right, with
a fairway trap strategically
placed to catch the long hitter
trying to cut the corner.
Afternoon drive back to hotel.
Overnight to be spent at hotel.
