Mercara Downs Golf Club was established by the British Planters in the late 1800’s making it a very serious contender of the distinction of being amongst the oldest golf courses in the Indian sub continent.
Located about 6 kms from “Madikeri” or “Mercara”, the capital of Kodagu (Coorg) District, amidst 70 or 80 odd acres of swelling, rolling landscape and beautiful scenery this is one of the lovely natural “parkland” golf courses in India, a living, breathing example of the setting in which the game was played by the home-sick planters of the early years. This 18 holes course is clearly of “Mother Nature’s Design”, rather like the way the Royal & Ancient is said to be.
