Guindy Links
Golf Club.
Chennai formerly known as
Madras, the third largest metropolis city in India. The Guindy Links Golf Club
is located in Chennai. The elevated greens are small to medium in size and are
not very fast though the ball rolls a lot due to the dry weather-mainly due to a
lack of water in the summer months. The best time to play here is after it rains
and between September and February.

The Cosmopolitan Golf
Club
It is in very good shape. The
well-elevated greens slope from top to bottom and are mainly fast. The fairways
are a blend of green and brown but get really brown in summer due to an acute
water shortage. The golf course allows preferred lies and the tree lined
fairways make the game interesting. The best time to play here is between August
and January. There is a drain that runs through the course that actually divides
the course into two, which makes the game all the more exciting.

Madras Gymkhana Club Golf Course
Situated within the 2400 meter
oval of the Guindy Race course. Unexpected challenges await you with not only
hazards including thick roughs, bunkers and water tanks, but unpredictable
obstructions like the race horses on their workouts. Some of the green s are at
a gradient of almost 30 degrees and can be very fast. The tough fairways and
fast greens require a firm hitter with sure putting skills. Player is allowed
two preferred fairway lies on the par fives and one a par four. Variety of trees
lines the tight fairways on the front nine. Back nine is wide open. A Peter
Thomson design with a liberal use of lateral water hazards. Most of the greens
are thick and slow and require good control with firm and sure putts. A sea
level course that offers the best golfing weather in February.
