 KGA
Golf Course: The key to conquering the par-72,
6,786 yards Karnataka Golf Association ( KGA
) Golf Course is to possess a hot putter .
The course has been re-designed by the legendary Peter Thomson,
also the man behind the New Course at St. Andrews. It is
one of the few in India where you can watch the proceedings
on the 1st and the 10th tee, as well as the 9th and 18th
greens, from the magnificent clubhouse – an aspect considered
to be classic in golf course designing.
 The
undulating mounds in the middle of the fairways end in some
of the country’s largest greens. While reaching the greens
here may be easier than other courses, the greens have double
borrows in most of the cases, and a player has to nail the
pin with his approach shot for good scores. The 5th hole,
which has a lateral water hazard running along the right
of the fairway and a huge water drain beyond the green,
is one of the tougher holes of this course.
