After
just over a decade, DLF has successfully

Haryana on the Southern border of the Indian
capital city, New Delhi. DLF City offers the
best in residential, corporate and commercial
spaces, schools and hospitals, 5-Star Hotels,
sophisticated shopping malls, state-of-the art
entertainment centers. One such jewel in its
crown is the DLF Golf & Country Club. DLF
GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB a 142 acre expanse is
situated in the heart of DLF City in Gurgaon,
Haryana, just 15 minutes away from the
International Airport. Here in lies India’s
premier world class designer golf course, with
the rugged Aravali Range forming a dramatic
backdrop. Today it enjoys the distinction of
being adjudged the best course in the
Sub-Continent & in India. This honor was
bestowed on it at the Asian Golf Monthly award
ceremony held in Singapore on 15th of November,
2007, & again in 2008 at Shenzhen, China.
The Golf Course, landscaped by Bell Collins,
developed by Ranjit Nanda Associates, & designed
by Arnold (King) Palmer, resulted in a golf-scape
which integrated with the surrounding natural
environment, in harmony with nature. This
beautiful parkland with five sparkling lakes,
meandering streams, variety of flora & fauna; is
a par 72, 7204 yards 18-hole course. It boasts
of world class fairways, fast and true greens.

course in the country to offer 18-holes of
Day/Night Golf thus making golfing in summers a
pleasurable experience.

superior grasses available in the world: Tiff
dwarf 11 for greens and Tiff way 419 for tees,
fairways & roughs. Maintained to prime
conditions with world - class 'Toro' turf
equipment, computerized irrigation system and an
efficient drainage network ensures that the
course is playable within 30 minutes of a
downpour. It is a golf course in the highest
tradition of the game - because that is the way
the legendary Arnold Palmer has designed it "I
try to give the player a course where good shots
are rewarded. The course reproaches you for the
bad shots - you just try harder".
The Arnold Palmer signature is about beauty,
and aesthetics. It allows you to set your own
goals. The greatness of the course is Palmer's
understanding of the technique in playing and
the player' s navigation through the game and
course. You can enjoy the game at various levels
of championship, competitive or as a stress
reliever. The course is equally suitable for
amateurs and professionals. The holes are
positioned in such a way that the player can
finish a round and head back to the Clubhouse to
freshen up.
The majestic Hafeez Contractor designed
Clubhouse overlooks the lake bordering the 9th
green. It’s mellow wooden paneled bar – the
Eagle’s Nest on the second floor over looks the
complete course. The Restaurant on the first
floor offers a delicious choice of multi cuisine
dishes. The lobby with its gracious décor is a
