EAST INDIA GOLF & WILDLIFE TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 1:
Arr. Kolkata.
Meeting and assistance on arrival and transfer to
hotel.Overnight at the hotel.
DAY 2: Kolkata
Morning play golf at ROYAL KOLKATA GOLF CLUB .
Morning golf at Tollygunge Golf Club.
The extensive grounds of the club were originally an indigo
plantation, laid out in 1781. In 1895 , Sir William Cruikshank,
a banker of repute and a keen sportsman, acquired the estate
from Prince Ghulam Mohammad, the son of Tipu Sultan, and
founded the Tollygunge. Besides maintaining an 18 hole golf
course, the Tollugunge Club also pioneered equestrian sports,
and steeple chasing and show jumping and still held annually
at the Club.
The 6520 yards, Par 71 course at Tollugunge is fairly easy to
tackle but for the large number of water hazards. The fairways
are lush green and wide, and the greens well maintained and
easy to read. A particularly difficult hole is the 321 yards,
par four fourteenth, also known as ‘Hydrophobia’. The player
has to cross over a large water tank, built by Prince Ghulam
Mohammad and filled with water lilies, to approach the green
on the other side. A miscalculated or over swung drive could
easily land the ball in the tank or the out-of-bounds area.
Afternoon half day city sightseeing tour of KOLKATA visiting
the Jain Temple, Zoological Gardens and Victoria Memorial.
Also drive past Howrah Bridge, Dalhousie Square, Fort William,
Secretariat building, and Old Court House street.Overnight at
the hotel.
DAY 3: Kolkata
Morning play golf at ROYAL KOLKATA GOLF CLUB.
ROYAL KOLKATA GOLF CLUB The Royal Calcutta Golf Club,
established in 1829, is not only the oldest golf club in India
but the oldest in the world outside Great Britain. Originally
located near the Calcutta airport, the club moved to the
Maidan and finally to its present location at Tollygunge in
1910.
Greens at Royal are small by modern standards, but undulations
make them tricky, and there is a little nap. From the tee the
course looks deceptively easy, but its strength lies in its
par fours, and to score requires good long and medium irons.
The most significant are the two large tanks across the tenth
fairway, the 457 yards par-4 jinx 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.Afternoon at
leisure. Over night at the hotel.
