 In
1906 The Late Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar chose the foothills
of the famous Chamundi Hills as the location for the Race and
Golf courses. Located on 110 acres in the premises of the Mysore
Race Club. The course was redesigned in 1996 by Pacific Coast
Design Company Australia.
It is a 18-hole par-70 course on the foothills of the Chamundi
Hills. The browns have all been converted to greens and they are
of good quality. The fairways are tight and improving every year.
The course was started by Krishnarajaa Wadiyar, the Prince of
Mysore.
The
opening two holes are extremely challenging – the first is a par-4
of approximately 400 yards and is out of bounds on the left and
right as well. The second is a par-3 measuring 210 yards with
OB on both sides again.
