Tollygunge
The Tollygunge Club (usually called "Tolly") is home to a locally well-regarded tree-lined parkland layout. The club is located in the Kolkata (Calcutta) suburb of Tollygunge. Established in 1895 the club is one of the oldest golf clubs in India, although not quite as old as its near neighbour, Royal Calcutta Golf Club, which was founded in 1829. Course description, images and other details to follow.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Course closed on Mondays.
Must book in advance.
The Tollygunge Club was founded in 1895 by Sir William Cruikshank as a meeting place for British merchants and bankers, who sought refuge from Calcutta's sweltering heat. The club, located on a former indigo plantation, was effectively the first country club of its kind in India with a unique collection of flora and fauna that are rare enough to be found in prestigious botanical gardens.
Prior to the locality being named Tollygunge it was known as Russapugla. It was renamed Tollygunge after Colonel William Tolly was permitted to dredge the adjoining canal connecting the Ganga with the Matla and Vidya rivers.
