Qutab Golf Course

Qutab Golf Course in Lado Sarai, run by the Delhi Development Authority, is usually described as India's first public golf course: a full 18-hole pay-and-play layout with a double-decker, 28-bay floodlit driving range and an indoor simulator room. Green fees effective 1 June 2025 are published on the official booking site (₹1,100 for 9 holes on a weekday for Indian players, up to ₹3,960 for a weekend 18; carts and caddies extra), and a 50-ball bucket on the driving range is a flat ₹110 for everyone, with non-members also paying a ₹165 range entry fee (₹330 for foreigners/NRIs). Simulator charges are not published. Sources disagree on the PIN code (110030 in a DDA FAQ document vs 110017 on the DDA web page); 110030 is the better fit for the Lado Sarai locality. Coaching prices circulating on outside blogs should be treated with caution.

How a first-timer actually gets on: no membership is needed — the DDA page describes the course as pay-and-play and the booking site sells tee times directly ("real-time tee time availability"), with a "Booking Issues" line on +91-9311303001 (also WhatsApp). For the driving range there is no booking step at all in the published process: a non-member pays the ₹165 range entry and ₹110 per 50-ball bucket on site. Two practical caveats from the DDA page: Wednesday is the closed day (its monthly scheme covers "all weekdays except Wednesday"), and a rolling monthly pay-and-play scheme exists at ₹25,960/month incl. GST. Neither DDA nor the booking site publishes daily opening hours; TripAdvisor's listing shows 9:00 AM–6:30 PM but that is undated, unofficial information — confirm by phone. On TripAdvisor the course rates 3.9 of 5 across 20 reviews (latest February 2026); reviewers repeatedly bring up rising prices and mixed course conditions, alongside appreciation that genuine pay-and-play access exists at all.
