Coorg Golf Links, CGL, Bittangala, Virajpet - Mysore Main Road, South Kodagu,
Karnataka

This is a lovely 18 Hole Course - the front nine and the back nine are totally different in character. Back nine is flatter, narrower and more challenging, to hit fairways on every tee shot. One of the holes particularly is interesting par 3 over a Banana Plantation which is OB, straight onto the Green with an 8 Iron. Tough.
Interspersed with Water bodies, tanks and natural hazards, the front nine is fun to play.The third hole, a tough par 4, requires you to tee off straight up onto a steep hill, with serious OB on your right, with the hole being blind but located on the right side. One misjudgement will cost you 2 strokes on this. Holes 4,5 and 6 are being extended a little more, to make this a total Par 73 Course. The Preferred Lie rules apply here and the fairways are reasonable. Greens are small and tight even on the Par 3 holes, making the whole experience an enjoyable, if challenging one.
Beautiful location, lovely course, nice place. Worth a visit most definitely.
