Delhi Golf Club, Golf club in central Delhi, India.
Delhi Golf Club is a golf course in central Delhi set among historic Mughal monuments. Two courses spread across 180 acres—an 18-hole layout and a 9-hole course—share the grounds with restaurants, bars, and fitness facilities.
The venue opened in 1931 as the Lodhi Golf Club and took its current name in 1951 with backing from Indian Civil Service officers. This renaming reflected its growth into one of India's premier golfing institutions.
The club weaves together sport and Indian heritage, with ancient Mughal structures like the Lal Bangla tombs standing within its grounds. Visitors encounter these historical monuments while moving between holes on the courses.
The grounds accommodate golfers of different skill levels and include a pro shop stocked with equipment and supplies. Weather conditions in the region can vary by season, so visiting during cooler months typically offers more comfortable playing conditions.
Membership applications can face waiting periods exceeding 50 years, making it one of India's most exclusive golfing destinations. This remarkable access restriction speaks to the club's long-standing reputation and desirability among players.
