Delhi Golf Club

Delhi Golf Club, Golf club in central Delhi, India.

Delhi Golf Club covers 220 acres (89 ha) of walled government land in central Delhi, holding the 18-hole Lodhi Course and the 9-hole Peacock Course, the latter created in Peter Thomson's 1976–77 redesign. The Gary Player Design studio rebuilt the championship layout in 2019. The clubhouse has a swimming pool, and Mughal remains including Lal Bangla stand inside the walls.

The original Lodhi Golf Club was laid out in the 1930s by the Chief of the Horticultural Department and covered a larger area than today's walled grounds, including parts of Golf Links and Kaka Nagar. It had few members and survived the Second World War on Allied officers' patronage. In 1948 it had eighty members; in 1951, renamed Delhi Golf Club, it had no more than 120. Indian Civil Service officers led by founder member Dharma Vira petitioned Prime Minister Nehru to lease government land at a low rent for thirty years, saving the club from dissolution.

The club's walled grounds hold Mughal remains, most notably Lal Bangla, a tomb complex named for its red colouring. Members and their guests pass these monuments on the Lodhi Course. The club also functions as a social hub for senior civil servants, police officers, judges and politicians, and its committee posts are decided by election, usually in September.

The club is walled and sits near India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, Delhi Zoo and Lodhi Gardens. Its 220 acres hold the 18-hole Lodhi Course and the 9-hole Peacock Course, plus a clubhouse with a swimming pool. Delhi's air quality is poor, and the shroud of carcinogenic particles above the bunkers and greens is visible in early morning and evening light.

The club pays the government only about ₹5.82 lakh (roughly USD 9,700) in annual rent for 220 acres of government land, a lease extended in 2012 by minister Kamal Nath until 2050. The land's market value is estimated at ₹47,000–60,000 crore.
