The Classic Golf Resort is a signature course of the great Jack ' Golden Bear' Nicklaus. The resort has been built on a 3000-acre expanse, at the foothills of the picturesque Aravalli hills. The golf course is located on the outskirts of Delhi, off the Delhi-Jaipur highway and is about 45 minutes drive from Delhi. This fusion of international experience with Indian expertise, indigenous adaptation of globally accepted materials and processes as well as the constant adherence to quality standards makes CGR a world-class championship venue.
The CGR is a magnificent facility with two courses – an 18-hole Championship Course, and a 9-hole Canyon Course. The championship course at the CGR plays to 7114 yards from the back tees. The par threes are particularly taxing with the eleventh hole a 224-yard monster with a bunker in front and out of bounds on the left. The course puts up all resistance right down to the 18th hole. The longest hole is the par-5 18th hole that is 580 yards long. The shortest is the par-3 fifth at 170 yards.
The fifth makes up for its lack of length by possessing a shallow, undulating and a deceptive green that can baffle any golfer. The amphitheatre-like green adds to the atmosphere. The par-5 14th is also an interesting hole with as many as eight bunkers coming in play.
