It is not often that we see new books published on Indian golf. This one, being an exceptionally praiseworthy effort – is a strong “buy” recommendation by us at India Golf Weekly. 

Walking the Greens: Your Journey Through Indian Golf Courses by Atul Dhir, a Delhi-based club golfer and travel professional,  is the definitive guidebook on Indian courses that India’s golf fraternity has long awaited—combining great photos, history, detail, and travel information in a hardcover , practical sized format. 

The book profiles 83 golf courses across India, each given four dedicated pages. Presented alphabetically, it blends history, architecture, and sporting legacy with practical travel details, making it an easy reference and read for golfers, tourists, and tour planners.

Every course chapter covers:

  • Bio – history and key facts. 
  • Connectivity – nearest airports, railheads, and club schedules. 
  • Hotels Nearby – handpicked options where on-site stays aren’t available. 
  • Airline Network – direct flight routes for domestic and international travellers. 
  • Facilities – pro shops, carts, dining, gyms, pools, and accommodations. 
  • Scorecard – updated yardages and PAR for each layout. 
  • Details – contact info, websites, year of opening, and more. 
  • Notes – space to record visit dates, partners, scores, and impressions. 

The book is richly illustrated with high-resolution photographs taken mostly by the author himself, capturing the diverse landscapes and character of Indian golf.

This is more than a course catalogue—it’s a milestone for Indian golf tourism and a ready reference for players, event organisers, and travel agencies alike. As Dhir’s work shows, passion and precision can coexist beautifully. Whether planning your next golf vacation, seeking new courses, or chronicling your own rounds, Walking the Greens is a must-have companion.

Interested readers can contact the author, Atul Dhir, at 9958170015 to purchase the book, priced at ₹1,199.
