History
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.
Practical
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.
