BGC is the oldest golf course outside of the British Isles. Established on a summer evening on June 24th of 1876, the land was previously used by an army regiment as a rifle range & training area. The course started as a 12 hole design & was transformed many a time, the last being a redesign in 2000. During the redesign, the brief was to accommodate an 18 hole course in a 60 acre plot (a rather tight squeeze), with a minimum of criss-crossing & without cutting a single tree. With its central location, challenging course and range of facilities, BGC is a true gem that represents the heritage and spirit of Bengaluru, Karnataka
