Nestled near Hosur in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district, Clover Greens Golf Course & Resort has solidified its reputation as a premier golfing destination in India, earning widespread acclaim after hosting two high-profile tournaments in July and August 2025: the ninth leg of the Women’s Golf Association of India (WGAI) Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) Players Championship. The 18-hole championship course, stretching nearly 6,900 yards and designed by Roach Lifescapes, has been hailed by both male and female professionals as a challenging yet exhilarating venue. With its tight fairways, strategic water hazards, and unique features like a massive rock outcrop, Clover Greens has proven itself a worthy stage for elite golf, elevating its stature in the Indian golfing landscape.

A Course That Tests and Inspires

The back-to-back hosting of the WGAI and PGTI events showcased Clover Greens’ ability to challenge top professionals while offering a visually stunning and strategically demanding experience. Amandeep Johl, CEO of PGTI, praised the course’s layout, noting, “The numerous water bodies and the narrow fairways guarded by trees on either side will test the skills of India’s best golfers.” Female professionals from the WGAI event echoed similar sentiments, with many highlighting the course’s demanding back nine and its ability to reward precise shot-making. Austin Roach, CMD of Roach Lifescapes & Clover Greens Golf Course & Resort, emphasized the venue’s growing prominence, stating, “Hosting these prestigious tournaments is a celebration of golf and an opportunity to showcase our world-class facilities.”

The course’s design, blending natural elements with strategic challenges, has made it a favorite among players. Its ability to host both men’s and women’s professional events within a short span underscores its versatility and appeal, positioning Clover Greens as a potential hub for mixed tournaments like the Kapil Dev - Grant Thornton Invitational in the future.
