The DLF Golf and Country Club , located in DLF5 in Gurgaon, was opened in 1999, with the first Arnold Palmer Signature course in the country. The club featured many other firsts – the first course to offer Night Golf and the first professional Golf Academy in the country were some of them. The club offered something for the entire family – tennis, squash, swimming, aerobics and a gymnasium. The Gary Player Course is an 18-hole, Par-72 course measuring 7654 yards from the Gold tees. This signature design was fully opened in October 2015 and is the second course at the DLF Golf & Country Club. The course has two large lakes, big land forms, large undulating greens and unique style bunkering amongst its various features. The front nine offers a par-3 with an island green while the closing holes are built around a quarry and a large lake with massive rock formations. Strategy is the key to successfully negotiating the course, which can play very different depending on the tees you play from. Golfers can choose to play from six different tees – Gold, Black, Blue, White, Red and Yellow. The Gary Player course has successfully hosted the Hero Women’s Indian Open in 2015, a Ladies European Tour event, amongst various other corporate golf events. The club also upgraded its facilities with the opening of a new golfer’s Pavilion equipped with new lockers, a restaurant and a bar. A new, well-stocked pro shop now caters to all needs of a golfer. The Academy too underwent major upgradation and recently opened its Performance Centre, a state-of-the-art training facility at par with the best in the world.
