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. |
- Close to the clubhouse is a group of domed
red sandstone buildings known as Lal Bangla, believed to be the tomb of
Lal Kunwar, the favourite concubine of the
Lodi
ruler, Jahandar Shah. On a hillock behind the seventh green is the
landmark of Bara Khamba or Twelve Pillars, a splendid ruined mausoleum
of the Afghan Lodi dynasty, with a solitary nameless tomb.
-
- The
Delhi
golf course is also a sanctuary for over 300 species of birds, and the
golfer is often startled by the rain dance of the colourful peacock or
the scurrying of a partridge. Planted with a variety of over 200 trees,
the Delhi course is the most lush in the country, and its sandly loam
has produced a rich turf good for exacting fairway shots.
-
- 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.
