About the Course

The Delhi Golf Club was built in 1931 and was redesigned by Australian Peter Thomson in 1976, who went on to win his third Indian Open title that same year. Thomson's work was reflected through the creation of two courses, the championship course (Lodhi) and the short course (Peacock).

The 445 yard par four ninth hole is the signature hole of the Club. It has a Champagne glass fairway with the green surrounded by bunkers. The 18 th hole provides for a tricky finish with bunkers protecting the green. For this year's Hero Honda Indian Open, two holes have been lengthened. The par three seventh, previously playing at 182 yards, now measures a challenging 230 yards while the 10th hole was lengthened by 50 yards to 474 yards now.

The jungle is a unique feature of the Club. Players will be surrounded by hundreds of tree and bird species as they walk the narrow fairways and onto the greens which are fairly large in size. Another unique feature is that historical monuments are very much part of the course layout.

Course record: Edward Fryatt (Eng), nine-under-par 63 set in 1997.
