The aristocracy were enamoured of the gentlemen's game
that was so popular in British India. Unfortunately, the
weather did not permit them the indulgence of creating
golf courses in this arid wilderness, and it was only in
Jaipur, as a part of the large scale palace renovations
undertaken by Maharaja Man Singh that a course was added
to the city. That 18-hole course is still the only one
in Jaipur and, in fact, in Rajasthan, and though it is
not a professional course, it is good for a round of
golf in what are picturesque surroundings: a palace next
door, and peacocks on the hazards. |
