Golf in South India, in its cities of Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mysore, Kochi etc can be very interesting as you can experience the vibrant cities, beautiful sights, scenic landscapes, distinct cuisines and golf.

The best golf courses in the South are in and around Bengaluru. KGA leads the pack with its condition and layout – it is also very busy due to its city location as is Bangalore Golf Club which is even more central. Further afield on the outskirts, new developments are making Bengaluru a proper golf destination with new golf courses designed by top names already in play.

With the buzz Bengaluru offers, its proximity to destinations such as heritage laden Mysore, the Hampi ruins and coffee county Coorg (some of them with golf courses of their own), it is a great base to do a complete holiday with some exciting golf thrown in.

Hyderabad known for its monuments, bazaars and biryani is another destination to consider for a golf break with 2 high character golf courses – the lush HGA Golf Course bordered by ramparts of a medieval fort and Boulder Hills.

The South offers a lot and more, particularly with sandy beaches, backwaters and Ayurvedic treatments in Kerala, the grandeur of the Mahabalipuram temples near Chennai and the quaintness of a former French colony in Pondicherry, all of which can be combined to make a great holiday.

BEST TIME TO GOLF IN SOUTH INDIA: India’s climate between October to March is unsurpassable with almost no rain, balmy days with low humidity and mild winters, making it one of the best places to travel and golf in during that period. Since India is a vast country, the temperatures do vary for each region based on seasons.

South India is best visited in the winter months when the region is pleasant and dry. Bengaluru & Hyderabad are more pleasant and experience lower temperatures during the winter than other regions in the South.

The summer season usually from April to June can get quite hot through out the country and it is not recommended to visit India at that time. The monsoon starts from June and continues till September. Chennai, however, faces the monsoon during the winter months of December & January.
