Poona Club Golf

Overview: Poona Club Golf occupies a substantial, nearly 96-acre site in Yerwada, close to Pune's airport corridor. The current Pacific Coast Design course profile describes an 18-hole, par-71 layout of 6,769 yards and credits Phil Ryan's design work. It is a city course with a long club connection rather than an isolated resort round, making it a natural option for golfers staying in Pune and looking for a full-length course within the metropolitan area. The PCD record also identifies later upgrade work, so the current layout should be understood as a developed and refreshed version of an older club golfing ground.

History: Poona Club's official history says the club in its present registered form dates from 31 August 1931 and identifies the golf course as an 18-hole facility. Pacific Coast Design records its original course design in 1993 and opening in 1994, followed by an approach to upgrade the course in 2015. The profile says the first new nine was completed in June 2016 and the second followed after the monsoon. An older guide places British golf on the site as early as 1918, but that is a different milestone from the modern PCD course opening; the dates are kept distinct here rather than blended into one simplified origin story.

Did You Know? The course's address is often given in different ways because the club sits in the Yerwada and Airport Road area. The club's own history uses 6 Airport Road, while the directory uses Sir Bhandarkar Road. Both references point to the same Pune club golf property, a useful identity check when comparing listings.
