Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to plan a golf trip to Kolkata?

You'll want to visit Kolkata between October and March. The weather is much cooler and drier then, making for far more enjoyable rounds on courses like the historic Royal Calcutta Golf Club. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September, as conditions become very wet and humid.

What's the standout feature of golfing in Kolkata compared to other Indian cities?

Kolkata offers a truly unique blend of colonial history and vibrant local culture right on the course. At the Royal Calcutta Golf Club, you're playing on hallowed ground, surrounded by centuries of tradition, while Tollygunge Club often brings you face-to-face with playful monkeys and exotic birds. It's an experience you won't find just anywhere.

How easy is it to get tee times and navigate the courses as a visitor in Kolkata?

Booking tee times, especially at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club, requires a bit of planning, so we recommend contacting them well in advance. Both courses are easily accessible by ride-sharing apps or taxis from most parts of the city, and you'll find the caddies are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, making navigation a breeze.

What should I budget for green fees and caddies when golfing in Kolkata?

Green fees in Kolkata are surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the historical significance of the courses; expect to pay around $50-100 USD per round for visitors. Caddie fees are minimal, usually just a few dollars, but a generous tip for good service is always appreciated. You're getting incredible value for a world-class experience here.

Beyond the golf courses, what else should a golfer explore in Kolkata?

After your round, dive into Kolkata's rich cultural tapestry. We highly recommend visiting Victoria Memorial, exploring the bustling markets, or taking a boat ride on the Hooghly River for a different perspective of the city. The food scene is also incredible, so don't miss out on trying some local Bengali delicacies.
