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 2007 Indian Open was a historical event as Jyoti Randhawa followed in the footsteps of Thomson by lifting his third title at the Delhi Golf Club.

The par four ninth hole is the signature hole of the Club. It has a Champagne glass fairway with the green surrounded by bunkers. The 18th hole provides for a tricky finish with bunkers protecting the green.

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: Shiv Kapur (Ind) 10-under-par 62, 2007
