Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The first hole’s tremendous length ( 583 yards from the back tees) is offset by fast running downhill fairway all the way to the green, but the drive must avoid the road on the right where members may be watching your efforts from the magnificent Clubhouse.
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee The second is a rare thing in golf a blind a dog leg par 3! The hilly ground forced the designer ( Colonel Ross Thompson, the Executive Engineer of Nilgiris District) to include several blind shots in this unusual golf course.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The third is a gem of hole. The drive must be placed up the right side if you are to have a clear view of the green nestling in a sleep dell. It deserved its stroke index of three and a par here is a considerable achievement.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The fourth is another to shotter, but if the drive carries the hill then a short iron will the green.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Now the fifth another par five but this time of more reasonable proportions. Again, an intimidating tee shot waits with trouble on all sides.
From The Fairway But if the safety of the fairway is found then the green is reachable in two and a birdie is a distinct possibility.
On The Green Pause to enjoy the views as you walk over the crown of the fairway here and catch your first glimpse of the high mountains beyond.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The difficult sixth marks the end of these long, cross country holes.
From The Fairway Another uphill drive leaves a log blind approach over the brow to a secluded green.
On The Green The next few holes offer some respite in terms of distance, but still demand pinpoint accuracy especially when the ground is running fast in the dry season.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The seventh is a stunning but tricky par 3 with a shallow green.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee The eighth offers a good chance of a birdie so long as the drive carries 150 yards of impenetrable rough, visit website.
From The Fairway
On The Green Before the half way but is reached another monstrous par 3 must be survived.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The ninth is a heroic hole. The target is a small elevated green which falls away on 3 sides and features not only a private valley but also its own small shrine.
From The Fairway This hole needs no bunkers to protect it! After this you may well feel you deserve a snack at the hut, easily arranged with the club’s friendly staff.
On The Green The back nine is certainly, both on the score card and on the legs painterly. The holes become less wild and less long, but still require patience.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The tenth is a great little hole. A long drive may bounce down to the green, but anything other than a perfect line may result in disaster as the Old Mysore Road ( now disused) waits silently to gobble up wayward balls. The prudent thing is to reach the sharply sloping green with two irons.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The eleventh is another lovely secluded par 3, but despite its small pond (the only water hazard on the course) the twelfth is perhaps rather plain.

Hole 13

From The Tee
From The Fairway The thirteenth offers a temptingly wide fairway and the chance to give it a rip, but again green.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee The fourteenth is the last par 3 with serious trouble short and left.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Now the fifteenth takes you back up the hill to a well defended green. The tee shot here must be fired up a tree-lined corridor to a sloping fairway that makes this hole tougher than its yardage suggests,

From The Fairway The last 3 holes form a loop and offer easy walking and some of the best birdie chances on the course.
On The Green
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The sixteenth is another very long par 5 but when the fairways run fast it is quite reachable and not overly penal.
On The Green
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The seventeenth can be driven by the long hitters but perhaps requires some caution with a well placed fairway bunker and another sloping fairway to cope with.
On The Green
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The eighteenth is a good strong finishing hole. The tee shot requires gorse-avoiding accuracy from the tee-just aim straight at the clubhouse! But you cannot compromise too much on distance if you want a view of the target.
From The Fairway The second shot, downhill to the most interesting green on the course requires precise distance control or you could be left with a tricky downhill putt before you reach the safety of the club house.
