One of the oldest golf clubs in india, established more than 100 year before by british. It is not well maintained but has antique value. U must play once in this golf club to have a different feel. The putting green is made of sand and it is a great challenge and fun to put.

KGF CLUB - In 1885, the British Mining Company of John Taylor and Sons established the first club in Kolar Gold Fields and named it the KGF Gymkhana Club. Among its members was T P Kailasam, one of the greatest Kannada playwrights. By the end of the 19th century, a sprawling British township was in place in Kolar Gold Fields and it came to be known as ‘Little England’ due to its British and Anglo-Indian population and its colonial ambience. Being a British mining colony, the social life of people at KGF was greatly influenced by British culture. The region saw the establishment of quite a few Associations towards the middle of the 1800s, such as the Kolar Gold Fields Choral and Dramatic Society which organised plays and choral functions, The Royal Army Temperance Association, The Trades list, etc. These Institutes catered to the social and cultural needs of the local British and European population. However, the need for recreational and sports facilities and clubs was greatly felt. In 1885, the British Mining Company of John Taylor and Sons established the first club in Kolar Gold Fields and named it the KGF Gymkhana Club. They built a 12-hole golf course and a beautiful Victorian Club House. This club was the first of its kind to be established in KGF and is ranked as the fourth oldest golf club in India. It had its own polo, golf and hockey teams. The club was and still is affiliated to Indian Golf Union and is also affiliated to all the major clubs in India. The club house was equipped with a traditional bar, library, snooker and billiard rooms, tennis courts, shuttle badminton courts and a ballroom with a wooden floor – all built and completed in a period of just six months since the company had vast man power and resources to complete the project in record time. The foyer of the club was decorated with many deer and bison heads on its walls, as mementos of hunting spoils by the members. The club was surrounded by a beautiful garden with well-maintained sprawling lawns and flower beds. The serene surroundings of the club, with the golf course on the side looked like a picture from the English countryside. #kgf #kgfarchives #kgfhistory #kgfmines The first Cement road of KGF, Paved nearly 100 years back .

This club was established more than 100 years back during British rule . Till 1947 NO ENTRY FOR INDIANS EVER INTO THE ROAD LEADING TO THE CLUB ! Now ofcourse completely changed.

Great place. Kindly invited to go inside.

It's a colonial architecture, still in good shape. Needs maintenance.

Bygone era. Beautiful place to see

No words to say about this club, it's very old club with all British architecture. Environment is very neat and pleasant. I am seeing this club from my childhood days. It's the best club I have ever seen in my life.

The place was built during the British era. Visited the place for the first time and was amazed to see the way it is still maintained. It gives you a feeling of being a lot like in the British era. The snoorker tables , the canteen area , the bar has still the touch of the British era. Visited the Badminton court inside it and played a game of Badminton too. It was mind refreshing.

Heritage Building nicely maintained.

Despite not enough players visiting the place, it is well maintained. Management should stop people from spoiling it.

KGF lost it's glory now. If think back about 30 years it was very much glorious in those days, but everything is shutdown!!!

Nice place for outdoor parties and wedding.....

Very prestigious and an iconic club. Brought back old memories for me. Proud moment

How do I visit this club. Please drop in the necessary contact details

It is not for public to explore the history of kgf, the staff are not friendly

A century old KGF Club was built in 1898. A beautiful monument with regal colonial ambience. A landmark of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF). KGF was once known as 'Little England'. Officers of BGML and BEML are mainly the members of this Club house.

Beautiful and scenic club made by the British...... which at the present condition needs to be maintained well...... Hope the club members and the association take immediate appropriate action to renovate and maintain the club as it has the potential to be on the lines of the Bangalore club and bowring club standards
