Nine holes of the 110 acre golf course have been lit up with bright floodlights and will be open to members and guests of the adjoining five-star hotel Park Plaza Royal Palms. The nine-hole course stretching over 2.5 kilometers has been lit up with special golfing floodlights every 20 metres on both sides. Apart from members and hotel guests, outsiders can also avail of this facility at an invitation price of Rs 1,100 per shift.

The move to introduce night golf facility is aimed at providing more entertainment options for the increasing volume of business travellers visiting the city.

The grass has been especially grafted and imported from Malaysia and the golfing facilities are being supplemented by a golf academy, a 24-bay driving range and practice facilities, touted as the first of its kind in India.
