Founded in 1589, the state capital of Hyderabad is better known for its distinct cuisine and the heritage left by the Nizams. Sample these aspects of the largest city in andhra Pradesh and then take to the trees of two interesting golf courses.
The 18 hole Army Golf course has links with Sir Winston Churchil while a still evolving but playable course next to historic Golconda Fort belongs to the Hyderabad Golf Association. A new double storey clubhouse set for completion in mid 2008 will be a sanctuary for work weary business executives and tourist golfers to rejuvenate after a game outside the 16th century fortress.
An illustrated feature on the still evolving golf scene in Hyderabad can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words depending upon editorial requirements. A ‘sidebar’ or a detailed story on Hyderabad can also be provided.
