JAIPUR

An eighteen hole course with nine greens and nine browns overlooks the picturesque Moti Doongri Palace and the historical Nahargarh Fort. The fairway passes through the Rambagh Polo Grounds, which have seen some of the finest polo matches in the time of the late Sawai Man Singh. These days there are more golfers to be seen on the ground where the royals once moved on their chargers.

The upper course has nine greens around the polo ground. A drain separates the lower course which has nine browns spread over a rough and undulating landscape. A casual visitor can play by paying a nominal green fee.

Interspersed with a play of red and pink were white borders and motifs, painstakingly outlining the architectural highlights of Jaipur's buildings, ever since 1727, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II had Jaipur built. Except for the busy traffic of bicycles, cars and buses, little seems to have changed. There is a timeless quality to Jaipur's bazaars and its people. As the gateway to Rajasthan, Jaipur figures on every tourist itinerary. A game of golf would prove yet another incentive!
