GOLFING IN MADRAS  (CHENNAI)

Guindy Links Golf Club.

Chennai formerly known as Madras, the third largest metropolis city in India. The Guindy Links Golf Club is located in Chennai. The elevated greens are small to medium in size and are not very fast though the ball rolls a lot due to the dry weather-mainly due to a lack of water in the summer months. The best time to play here is after it rains and between September and February.

• Established in 1877

• 5 km from the airport

• It is par 70

• 6,667 yard golf course

It is in very good shape. The well-elevated greens slope from top to bottom and are mainly fast. The fairways are a blend of green and brown but get really brown in summer due to an acute water shortage. The golf course allows preferred lies and the tree lined fairways make the game interesting. The best time to play here is between August and January. There is a drain that runs through the course that actually divides the course into two, which makes the game all the more exciting.

• 5 km away from the airport.

• Its par 72.

• 18-hole

• 6,654 yards.

• The course was built in 1873

Madras Gymkhana Club Golf Course

Situated within the 2400 meter oval of the Guindy Race course. Unexpected challenges await you with not only hazards including thick roughs, bunkers and water tanks, but unpredictable obstructions like the race horses on their workouts. Some of the green s are at a gradient of almost 30 degrees and can be very fast. The tough fairways and fast greens require a firm hitter with sure putting skills. Player is allowed two preferred fairway lies on the par fives and one a par four. Variety of trees lines the tight fairways on the front nine. Back nine is wide open. A Peter Thomson design with a liberal use of lateral water hazards. Most of the greens are thick and slow and require good control with firm and sure putts. A sea level course that offers the best golfing weather in February.

• Founded in 1886

• Holes: 18

• Yardage: 6325/5765

•  Par: 70
