New nine-hole course opens at Leela Ambience Gurgaon Hotel

A new golf course has opened at The Leela Ambience Gurgaon Hotel in Gurgaon, India.

Hawaii-based firm Nelson & Haworth Golf Course Architects has designed the nine-hole, par-three Ambience Greens course.

The course is floodlit, meaning golfers can play the course into the evening, with a final tee off time of 9.30pm.

“The most interesting feature for players is that they can easily continue with their passion without losing much time,” said Rashmi Vasisht, corporate director of Public Relations for The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts. “Players can stop by before going to office or after a hectic day as we are open from 5.30am till 11.00pm every day. As it’s an executive golf course, a game of nine holes can be easily played in 1 hour 30 minutes.”

The course will be open seven days a week and there is an option of pay and play, as well as memberships, for golfers.
