Patna Golf Club

Overview: Patna Golf Club's Bailey Road course has 18 holes and plays to par 72, with the current Professional Golf Tour of India scorecard listing 6,254 yards. The course occupies an important green setting inside a busy capital city, and its established fairways and trees give the round a quieter character than the surrounding streets suggest. The current tournament record also confirms that the course remains capable of hosting professional competition, making it a useful reference point for golf in eastern India.

History: Patna Golf Club was established in 1916 as the South Bihar Gymkhana Club, on land leased from the government of Bihar and Orissa. Historical reporting identifies Steuart Bayley among the people who helped form the club, and records golf and polo as early activities. The club has marked major anniversaries with tournaments and has hosted national-level events. A golf academy started in 2012 added another strand to the club's history by connecting the old course with efforts to introduce the game to younger players and local residents.

Did You Know? The PGTI's March 2026 scorecard records an unusual symmetry: the outward nine and inward nine each total 3,127 yards and par 36, for a combined 6,254 yards and par 72. Several hole values repeat in the two halves, giving the published card a pattern that is easy to remember. Patna's modern tournament identity therefore sits alongside a very old club history and a scorecard whose numbers have a distinctive mirrored quality.
