 The
Greg Norman designed Jaypee Greens
Golf Club is a lengthy 18- hole
course situated in Greater Noida. At 7,343 yards
from the championship tee, it is definitely
the longest course in the country and one of
the longest in Asia. Nine huge lakes and five
small ponds come into play on almost every hole,
and the uniquely shaped bunkers are strewn over
the course. There are 88 bunkers in all. However
, the layout goes with Norman’s philosophy of
course design that challenges the very best
of the pros, and yet is enjoyable for the members,
who can play from a choice of tees.
With intent on making the resort a lifestyle
statement the group has incorporated all the
necessary facilities. “Spread over 450
acres, the Jaypee Greens Golf Resort is a statement
of a lifestyle. It promises to be one of its
kind in North India with an integrated sport
complex, five-star deluxe hotel, food courts,
restaurants, commercial complexes and private
villas, to be completed by the next phase".
 The
fairways here are some of the best in the country,
but the greens are a bit on the slower side.
Since the course just started in the year 2001,
they would take some time to settle down. Two
par-3s (the 231-yards third and the 216 yard
fifth) are especially tough and one might have
to resort to ones woods to reach them in regulation.
The par fives are long too. Water skirts the
fairways all along the second shot on a couple
of them.
