View on to the fairway from the Oberoi Hotel

The Delhi Golf Club is one of the oldest golf-courses in Asia and the oldest one in Delhi. It was founded in the 1920's as the Lodhi Club and is located at Dr. Zakir Hussain Road in Nizamuddin.

The course war originally laid out by the British, integrating existing Mughal structures and tombs into the course. The golf club underwent various changes over time, at one point it had to sell at least a third of its original size to the municipality of Delhi in order to finance itself. Today, it is a favourite meeting point of the Delhi elite and hosts various tournaments and cups such as the Indian Open.
