The Chandigarh Golf Club was laid out in 1962 over 9 holes initially and is located just south of Sukhna Lake and adjacent to the residence of the Punjab Governor in Sector 6, Chandigarh. It was subsequently expanded to a full 18 hole course in 1989. The 7,063-yard, par-72 course is known for its tight fairways, which are lined by thick mango, jamun, eucalyptus and kikar orchards, trees and thick roughs. There are quite a few dogleg holes here, but none gives the players a chance to take the shortcut as tall trees almost always guard the corners. The Club also possesses one of the longest par-5s in India, the seventh hole, which measures 613 yards. Its the pride of Northern India.
