DLF Golf and Country Club, Gurgaon, New Delhi, INDIA, an Arnold Palmer designed course, measures 7250 yards with a rating of 73. There are five tee locations with ratings from 73 to 69. The course is designed along the lines of Parkland. The greens, tees and bunkers are designed to USGA's specifications.

The greens are planted in "Tidwarf II" Bermuda. The tee's fairways and roughs are planted in "Tifway" Bermuda. The tee's are over sown in Winter with a mixture of "Rye-grasses".

The golf course contains elaborate drainage network with individual systems in greens, tees and bunkers and are then connected to the main system which is then fed back into the lakes.

The 5 lakes cover over nine acres and are all inter-connected by either underground pipes, streams, water falls or pumps.

14,000 trees, 80,000 shrubs and 300,000 groundcovers have been planted. The irrigation system is fully computerized and has an on-site weather station that gives precise readings and calculations for the application of irrigation.

The computer controlled Pump Station contains 475h.p. variable speed pumps and over 1600 sprinkler heads. All landscaped areas have their own individual system. Most trees have a small bubbler, with the shrubs and groundcovers having a drip system.

This all adds up to an extremely efficient means of applying water and for conserving precious resources like power & water. The turf maintenance equipment, manufactured in America, is of mainly Toro brand machines.

The state of the art equipment of over 120 pieces is used to maintain the course as close as possible to tournament conditions on a daily basis. This requires a dedicated staff of machine operators, mechanics, horticulturists, irrigation technicians and gardeners.
