India was the first country outside Great Britain to take up the game of golf. The Royal. Calcutta Golf Club, established in 1829, is the oldest golf club in India.

In India you can play golf almost anywhere. This outdoor sport is widely played by a cross-section of people and courses are often set against dramatic backgrounds, in the hills, in the high Himalayas, in metropolitan cities and in small towns, by the sides of lakes and forests or surrounded by tea estates, out in the desert and in old British cantonments.
