The golfing fraternity of India never had it so good; an exciting chapter in the long history of Indian Golf has just begun. The beauty and character of the Sahyadri ranges which lies 25 km. south west of Lonavala has helped produce one of India's first abode of golfers delight.
Designed by David Hemstock and remodeled for Championship play by PGA. Design Consultant of UK using natural contours of the land to blend the base of Sahyadri Ranges. Aamby Valley Golf Course is a sheer visual delight and a marvel of British Golf Architecture waiting to be conquered by those who value the challenges, pristine outdoors, constantly changing conditions and variety that really defines the essence of this wonderful game called GOLF.
Immediately the game begins by testing the golfers with undulating fairways and subtly contoured greens with strategically placed bunkers and finish with an enjoyable Par 4, 18th where you walk in to the spectacle of setting sun over the Koraigad Fort in full view of Aamby Valley City. Sitting in the valley of Sahyadri ranges of the Western Ghats and spread over 250 acres the 18th Hole Par 72 Course is a surreal experience. With hills on all sides and a vast expanse of lakes within, the air here is crisp and fresh.
The birds sing, peacock dash across the fairways and the deer's peep, making your day. The Aamby Valley Golf Course is an experience which has no parallel in the country.
The Championship Golf Course is a fully flood lit 18 Holes facility and was rated the Best in India by Professional Golfer's Association of India. For this enviable position all the top golf courses of India were rated for their design, maintenance, presentation of the course, facility on offer and service of the staff and that Aamby Valley Golf Course emerged far ahead of the pax was really not a surprise. The facility boasts of a state-of-the-art Golf Academy certified by British PGA. With 24 Practice Bays and 3 Air Conditioned Teaching Bays housing GASP Teaching Software which incidentally is the first of its kind in Asia, the Academy is certainly a trend setter, a facility the country desperately needed. The Academy operation is handled by two Indian Pros qualified from PGA, Belfry, UK.
After your game, head to the spa for Swedish and Kerala Ayurvedic treatments that are simply out of this world. There are a number of luxurious accommodation options at Aamby Valley, including lavish chalets and Spanish cottages.
