 The
Greg Norman designed Jaypee Greens Golf Club
is a lengthy 18- hole course situated in Greater Noida. At 7,343
yards from the championship tee, it is definitely the longest
course in the country and one of the longest in Asia. Nine huge
lakes and five small ponds come into play on almost every hole,
and the uniquely shaped bunkers are strewn over the course. There
are 88 bunkers in all. However , the layout goes with Norman’s
philosophy of course design that challenges the very best of the
pros, and yet is enjoyable for the members, who can play from
a choice of tees.
With intent on making the resort a lifestyle
statement the group has incorporated all the necessary facilities.
“Spread over 450 acres, the Jaypee Greens Golf Resort
is a statement of a lifestyle. It promises to be one
of its kind in North India with an integrated sport complex, five-star
deluxe hotel, food courts, restaurants, commercial complexes and
private villas, to be completed by the next phase".
 The
fairways here are some of the best in the country, but the greens
are a bit on the slower side. Since the course just started in
the year 2001, they would take some time to settle down. Two par-3s
(the 231-yards third and the 216 yard fifth) are especially tough
and one might have to resort to ones woods to reach them in regulation.
The par fives are long too. Water skirts the fairways all along
the second shot on a couple of them.
