The
Classic Golf Resort is a signature course of the great
Jack ‘ Golden Bear’ Nicklaus. The resort has
been built on a 3000-acre expanse, at the foothills of the picturesque
Aravalli hills. The golf course is located on the outskirts of
Delhi, off the Delhi-Jaipur highway and is about 45 minutes drive
from Delhi. This fusion of international experience with Indian
expertise, indigenous adaptation of globally accepted materials
and processes as well as the constant adherence to quality standards
makes CGR a world-class championship venue.
The
CGR is a magnificent facility with two courses – an 18-hole Championship
Course, and a 9-hole Canyon Course. The championship course at
the CGR plays to 7114 yards from the back tees. The par threes
are particularly taxing with the eleventh hole a 224-yard monster
with a bunker in front and out of bounds on the left. The course
puts up all resistance right down to the 18th hole. The longest
hole is the par-5 18th hole that is 580 yards long. The shortest
is the par-3 fifth at 170 yards.
The fifth makes up for its lack of length by possessing a shallow,
undulating and a deceptive green that can baffle any golfer. The
amphitheatre-like green adds to the atmosphere. The par-5 14th
is also an interesting hole with as many as eight bunkers coming
in play.
