The Aamby Valley Golf Resort redefines the very concept of ‘golf resorts’ in India. Set amidst the beautiful Sahyadri hills and a massive expanse of water in the form of a lake, the facility transports you to analtogetherdifferent world. The Resort boasts a number of Chalets and Spanish Cottages. Established by the Sahara Group, the Aamby Valley Golf Resort is spread across 256 acres of land within which lies nestled a par 72 18-hole 7087-yard golf course. The facility was designed by David Hemstock, a British Golf Architect and a senior member of the EIGCA. The unique feature of the course here is that it was the very first golf course in India to be entirely flood-lit. Another remarkable feature is that it was designed taking into consideration the lie of the land, wherein very little was disturbed to create this golfing facility. It was almost as if nature intended for a golf course to dot the landscape. Most important, the Aamby Valley course was voted the ‘World’s Best International Golf Course’ among seven participating continents and 88 countries, at the ‘International Property Awards’, London.
