Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club

Overview: At the foothills of Chamundi Hills in Mysuru, Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club presents an 18-hole, par-70 course within the 110-acre premises of the Mysore Race Club. The operator describes the setting as a meeting point between golf, royal history and the natural landscape around the hill. Its sustainability material records treated-water use, tree planting and attention to local biodiversity. The course's character is therefore defined by the Chamundi backdrop and by the mature, living landscape surrounding the fairways rather than by a resort-style setting.

History: The club's official history attributes the choice of the site to Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, who selected the foothills of Chamundi Hills for the race and golf courses. The operator's current timeline uses 1940 as the club's establishment marker and records the later association of Jayachamaraja Wadiyar with maintenance. That is the safest way to describe the date because the published material does not identify a separate opening date for the present 18-hole routing. Over time, the club has supported championships, junior coaching and an active member golfing community.

Did You Know? JWGC's sustainability programme identifies an exotic bird sanctuary on the premises, 100 percent treated sewage water use and yearly afforestation as part of its current environmental work. These are not just off-course statements: the club describes the course as a living ecosystem beneath Chamundi Hills. The site therefore gives golfers a rare chance to play a city course where the surrounding biodiversity is treated as part of the club's identity and management responsibility.
