Golf course overview
ITC Classic Golf Resort was designed to cater to the entire spectrum of golfers in a way that feels easy and enjoyable for the young enthusiasts of the game. However, the more discerning golfers do find it a technical challenge at each step.
It includes 27 Holes – each with its own design characteristics. Every set of nine holes derives its nomenclature from its exclusive features. ‘Ridge’, ‘Valley’ & ‘Canyon’ together make it one of the best golf getaways near Gurgaon.
Ridge: 3,541 yards (Par 36) The first nine of the Championship Course rewards accuracy more than distance. Two holes have bodies of water that run along the fairways and the par threes are comparatively shorter and more undulating. True to its name, at the Ridge, one needs to be spot-on with the next drive, chip or put.
Valley: 3,573 yards (Par 36) The back nine of the Championship Course provides an edge to long hitters and fairways are relatively narrower than the Ridge. The par 3 – Hole # 11, consistently plays over par in the best of events and measures close to 225 yards off the back tee.
Canyon: 3,135 yards (Par 36) Surrounded by the Aravalli range on three sides, the nine-hole Signature Executive Course is by far the most scenic in the National Capital Region. Canyon is a full-fledged par 36 set of holes. While some of the par fours seem short and reachable, they are the classic risk / reward holes and accurate placement is key.
Signature Holes
The 13th is a brute of a hole, playing uphill all the way from tee to green whilst the downhill 18th plays along a valley to a heavily contoured green full of breaks and borrows.
