Golf in Bangalore using HDFC Infinia

[sumit_yadav]

I think less than 5% people use this benefits

There are limited number of golf clubs and above it "dress code" for the professionals working from home in their night dresses.

There's a nice 'Intro to golf' thingy going on in Bangalore. No credit card booking required. Only 100 bucks. I have attached 2 pics from Insta.

Cheers

For infinia, what are the additional charges that needs too be paid for golf lessons. Mention mandatory and optional charges in crisp way

I have both Infinia and EPM. Points to note

Only primary card holders get golf benefits, while all other card benefits like lounge etc are available for add-on card holders as well.

Always suggest to start with lessons as they are completely free, NO additional charges ( coach, balls, clubs). Only thing to take care of is dressing, generally, smart casual pants (not jeans) will do with collared Tshirts paired with sport shoe with good grip.

If you book a golf game, green fees are fully waived. Along with the right dress code you will need a set of golf clubs in a bag. Suggest to buy an used one to begin with in 20-30K inr range

Additional charges to keep in mind,
caddy fee 300-500 that you will need to pay at the reception
Buggy fee instead of caddy fee of about 2K for large golf courses like prestige golfshire in mandatory
Tipping at the end of the game to the caddy is an expectation, 500 inr is sufficient generally. Remember that the caddy is the one who is helping you through the game, spotting the ball, right club selection, swing correction. If you find a good one, make sure to tip properly and engage him in all your games.

Apart from these, you might have to shell out about 1000-1500 for food, breakfast, brunch or lunch depending on when you start the game and how many holes you play. For example at Prestige Augusta which is relatively inside the city and a small course of about 1800 yards on total, you can finish in less than 3 hours even if you are bad and ball is out of play multiple times, which means you need not spend on food at all.

If you go for larger golf courses then you will definitely have to budget for food as well.

DM if any more questions related to Bangalore courses. Have played in all of them.
