The home course of Jeev Milkha Singh, India’s top-ranked and best-known golf pro, is about to get a makeover.
We’re talking about Chandigarh Golf Club in Chandigarh (in the state of Punjab), which features a 7,202-yard track that opened in 1962 and is among the oldest courses in northern India.
Singh is reportedly upset at the way the course has deteriorated in recent years. A recent news report said he was concerned about “the apathy and indifference” of the club’s leaders and believes the club has gone “backwards rather than forward as a prime golfing destination.”
In response, the club has commissioned David Hemstock to create a master plan for renovations. The work is expected to take place over the next five years.
Hemstock, who’s based in Biggin-by-Hartington, England, has two new courses that are currently under construction in India, one for the Hyderabad Golf Association in Hyderabad and another at Kovai Hills in Coimbatore for Rakindo Developers.
