Kensville Golf Club

Overview: Kensville Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course at Dev Dholera, about 40 kilometres from Ahmedabad. The course is associated with Indian professional Jeev Milkha Singh and Colonel K. D. Bagga, and current tourism material lists par 72. The setting is broad and largely level, with strategically placed bunkers, water bodies and contoured greens giving shape to the test. Kensville is built into a larger golf-living and resort development, so the round offers the combination of a destination course, open Gujarat landscape and a convenient connection to Ahmedabad.

History: Kensville helped change the golf landscape around Ahmedabad by adding a full 18-hole course to a market that had previously relied heavily on smaller or military facilities. The course became a tournament venue soon after its launch, including the Gujarat Kensville Challenge, and its design was developed with Jeev Milkha Singh's playing perspective alongside K. D. Bagga's architectural work. Because published sources disagree on the opening year and total yardage, this profile identifies the course and its par without turning conflicting historical figures into false precision.

Did You Know? The Gujarat Kensville Challenge in 2011 was the European Challenge Tour's first event in India, according to Gujarat Tourism. That tournament gave the Ahmedabad course an early international stage and tested the layout with professional fields, while also helping introduce Gujarat as a serious destination for competitive golf.
