Mostly flat terrain, small greens and natural water hazards. Best time to play is October through March.
The Royal Calcutta has been the shared venue of the All India Championship since 1958 and has played host to some of golf’s all time greats such as I. S. Malik, H. S. Malik, Major P. G. Sethi, Walter Hagen and Pamela Barton.
