Mysore, Karnataka, India
 In
1906 The Late Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar
chose the foothills of the famous Chamundi Hills
as the location for the Race and Golf courses.
Located on 110 acres in the premises of the
Mysore Race Club. The course was redesigned
in 1996 by Pacific Coast Design Company Australia.
It is a 18-hole par-70 course on the foothills
of the Chamundi Hills. The browns have all been
converted to greens and they are of good quality.
The fairways are tight and improving every year.
The course was started by Krishnarajaa Wadiyar,
the Prince of Mysore.
The opening two holes are extremely challenging
– the first is a par-4 of approximately 400
yards and is out of bounds on the left and right
as well. The second is a par-3 measuring 210
yards with OB on both sides again.
