History
The course was originally laid out by the British, integrating existing Mughal structures and tombs such as the Lal Bangla into the course. The golf club has undergone various changes over time, and at one point it had to sell at least a third of the land it occupied 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.
