 This
18-hole, par 72, 7100 yards championship course is replete with
strategically placed bunkers on meandering fairways which look
like olive green crumpled blankets. Spread over 275 acres of land.
The contrasting natural scrub changes colour with the seasons
just as the surrounding Aravalli Hills do, transporting you to
the Highlands. The impression while playing this course will not
be that of a golf course having being laid there but that of the
fairways having been carved through natural meandering desert
dunes.
 The
undulating greens nestled in the mounded areas provide a different
challenge and experience every time you hit one. There are dramatic
elevation changes and still they look totally natural. Pot bunkers,
subtle contouring, gentle swirls, deceptive grassy hollows make
depth perceptions tricky and judging distances extremely challenging.
This championship course tests the skills of the most advanced
golfer. It demands not only length but finesse as well. The course
demands a large repertoire of shot making ability and yet provides
equal pleasure and challenge to golfers of all skill levels.
