Sunshine Acres Golf Club (Kolhapur Golf Resort)

Sunshine Acres Golf Club — reported at its January 2023 opening as "Kolhapur Golf Resort" — is a 9-hole executive course (par 30, about 1,970 yards, Pacific Coast Design) built by Sunshine Acres Pvt Ltd, a Menon-family company, beside the old NH-4 at Top village outside Kolhapur — the club's own site puts the golf on 40 acres while the opening report describes a 100-acre site, which probably counts the whole property. It operates as part of the Highland Club, a lifestyle club and small resort with chalets, a pool and restaurant, and the golf side includes a 12-bay driving range, pro shop and an academy advertising Class A professionals for private lessons and corporate days. India Golf Weekly covered the opening in February 2023; nothing dated has been published about the place since, so the case that it is operating rests on the club's own live, maintained website rather than on any dated report. That site is also explicit about golf access: "Special Golf programs are offered to members and their guests." Rooms at the property are sold openly through travel sites, but no green fee or day-visitor rate is published anywhere, so whether a non-member can simply turn up and pay is unknown — it is best read as a members' club rather than a resort course, and enquiring first is the sensible approach.
