Royal Calcutta Golf Club

Location: Kolkata, India

Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC), founded in 1829 at Tollygunge, Kolkata, is the oldest golf club in India and the first outside the British Isles — predating even most clubs in Britain itself. King George V and Queen Mary conferred the "Royal" title in 1911. The par-72, 18-hole championship course sits on former paddy fields, offering a flat parkland layout with natural water hazards, water lilies, and large greens. RCGC has hosted major events including the Indian Open and welcomed legends like Walter Hagen and Peter Thomson, alongside a clubhouse with tennis courts and a swimming pool.
