The history of golf in India dates back to the early 19th century when the Royal Calcutta Golf Club was established in 1829. It was followed by several other clubs in erstwhile Bombay, Bangalore, and Shillong. The Indian Golf Union, formed in 1955, added a new chapter to the history of the sport in the nation.
Today, the nation with about 200 registered golf courses is a coveted destination for golfers. The India Golf Tourism Association has been working towards making the sport an experience in the country.
