The Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada, is the President of the Golf Club. He presides over the Managing Committee. The Managing Committee is elected by the members, every two years.
The Golf Course is a 18 hole, Par 72, which has nine Greens & Fairways (9 fairways, played twice & two holes per Green) with the range 6095 yards. We have the latest machinery and equipment for upto-date maintenance of the fairways and greens. During monsoon, the play is somewhat restricted, as one would have a stop-and-go game, depending on the rains. However, our course is well designed for the water to run off as soon as the rain stops.
Our Club House was completed in November 2005, and has a beautiful ambience & settings within the Pilikula Forestry. As most of our Members are also members of the 3 major clubs in Mangalore, we have no problems accommodating visiting golfers (during tournaments), at these clubs. We now have a full fledged Guest House with 10 Guest Rooms with large Restaurant & a large Bar Lounge.
Parking Space is available for all Visitor Vehicles.
