In Gurgaon, there will soon be a new entry on the city’s golfing map, with DLF Golf and Country Club setting up a new golf course. The nine-hole course will be built on an 84 acre expanse, and is being designed by the South African Gary Player. Player, who has won over 165 tournaments and was the youngest winner of the British Open, is on his first such assignment in India.
Designing a golf course is the work of a whole team, Player says that that the surface he was given to work with is as flat as a stage, The new golf course will be situated within the existing Golf and Country club premises, and according to the designers, will be built using treated sewage water. DLF has already set up a sewer treatment plant (STP) around where the course is going to be built.
The course will be a gift to nature, Player added. The STP, according to DLF representatives, has a total capacity of 6 mld, and is going to be taken to 9 mls by the next year. DLF representatives say that the designers will be making use of the best available technology for building the golf course.
