Colonel Ross Thompson, the Executive Engineer of the Nilgiris District, started the Golf Course in 1889. In 1891, Colonel Fane Sewell, the Honorary Secretary of the Club, got the go-ahead from the Municipal Council, who owned the land. They named the Golf Course the Gymkhana Golf Club in 1896. In 1905, to host the Amateur Golf Challenge Cup, now known as the South India Open Amateur Championship, they decided to add more holes to the course, making it eighteen.

The Coimbatore Golf Club

Coimbatore

The Coimbatore Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course nestled in Chettipalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. It all started when a group of passionate golfers in Coimbatore decided to create their own golfing paradise in 1977. Back then, they set up a 9-hole course in the Jail grounds of the city. But in 1985, they took things to the next level by building a brand-new course in Chettipalayam, designed by one of the club’s founders, G.K. Rajagopal. This new course is located just 17 km away from the city center and offers a golfing experience like no other.

They thought, ‘This is golf paradise!’ And so, in 1895, the Kodaikanal Golf Club was born. Back then, there wasn’t a ghat road, so the only way to get around was by ‘shanks pony’ or the real thing, for the mostly American and British missionaries who were the backbone of the club..
