At the redesigned Visakhapatnam’s East Point Golf Club, golfers across India are hitting the fairway in true style

Gazing down the valley at East Point Golf Club (EPGC), a lush landscape of fairways and endless greens, mischievous sand traps and brilliant blue ponds greet the eye. Amidst this, the approving claps of a gallery of viewers carry to the rugged peaks of the surrounding Eastern Ghats. Ever since the course was redesigned into a category-A championship course about a year ago, the EPGC has been buzzing with energy. 

After a pandemic-induced lull for nearly two years putting a damper on sports as well as destination travel, the EPGC is giving golfers the opportunity to hit the fairway in true style. With a smattering of water bodies, palm trees and bunkers, all maintained in top condition, the 18-hole course has been drawing golf lovers from afar. Here, non-members can rent golf equipment as well. Since September last year, the EPGC has hosted three national level tournaments and is gearing up for two more in the summer. It recently concluded the Captain’s Cup tournament and hosted a glittering Captain’s Night to celebrate the winners of the year’s tournaments.
