Chandigarh Golf Club is a non-profit charitable registered golf club in Chandigarh, India. The club features an 18-hole course spanning 6,5 kilometers (7,202 yards). It was founded in 1962, nestling under the Sivalik Hills. The Clubhouse was originally laid out by Dharam Vira in 1969, seven years after the founding of the course. ^[1] In 1978, the course was being expanded from 12 holes to 18. This new course was designed by four-time Open Championship winner, Peter Thomson.^[2]

It is advertised as challenging course with narrow fairways, featuring a demanding 7th hole - a dogleg measuring 560 meters (613 yards).^[3] Notably, the first nine holes are equipped with floodlighting.^[4]

The club has been home to some professional golfers, the most noted being Jeev Milkha Singh.
