01 — What we buildSGDC India
One partner from the first survey to the first tee shot
SGDC was formed to be the integrated golf course development company India did not have: a builder with the construction, irrigation, turf and machinery expertise to take a course from concept to completion under one contract. Championship courses, resort and residential township courses, nine-hole and executive layouts, driving ranges, and phased renovations of courses already in play.
How we build
Six stages,
one accountable team
Every SGDC project runs the same way, whether it is an 18-hole championship course or a bunker renovation on a course that stays open.
- 01
Feasibility and routing
Site walk, survey, soil and water testing, routing input and a phased budget before any earth moves.
- 02
Earthworks and shaping
Bulk earthworks, feature shaping, lakes and the surface drainage that gravity gives for free.
- 03
Drainage and irrigation
Greens, bunker and fairway drainage, then a Rain Bird system with IC rotors and CirrusPRO central control.
- 04
Greens, tees and bunkers
USGA-specification greens, engineered tees and Capillary bunkers that drain 100 inches an hour.
- 05
Grassing and grow-in
Hybrid bermudagrass or seashore paspalum, sprigged or sodded, grown in by the team that will hand it over.
- 06
Fleet and handover
Jacobsen mowers, E-Z-GO carts, Cushman vehicles and a reel grinding workshop, delivered and serviced by SGDC.
Services

Questions developers ask
How much does it cost to build a golf course in India?
An 18-hole course built to international standards typically costs tens of crores of rupees excluding land, and a championship course with heavy earthworks, lakes, cart paths and full central-control irrigation can cost considerably more. Earthworks, irrigation, drainage, greens specification, grassing and the maintenance fleet decide where a project lands. SGDC provides a phased estimate from your site data.
How long does golf course construction take?
Construction of an 18-hole course usually takes 18 to 30 months from design approval to opening, depending on earthworks, the monsoon window and grow-in. Nine holes can open while the second nine is built.
Does SGDC design golf courses or only build them?
SGDC offers turnkey design-and-build and also constructs courses designed by independent golf course architects. The team covers routing input, shaping, drainage, irrigation design, greens construction, grassing, grow-in and the maintenance fleet.
Which golf courses has SGDC built or renovated?
More than 40 delivered projects including Qutab Golf Course, Dwarka Golf Course, Pacific Golf Estate, Tarudhan Valley Golf Resort, Delhi Golf Club, Bombay Presidency Golf Club, Kashmir Golf Club, Boulder Hills Golf Club, ITC Classic Golf Course, Thenzwal Golf Club, Mayfair Golf Course, East Point Golf Club and Lidder Valley Golf Club.
Can SGDC renovate an existing course in phases?
Yes. Bunker renovation with Capillary bunkers, irrigation replacement with Rain Bird central control, greens rebuilds and drainage projects are all delivered in phases so the course stays open.
Does SGDC supply the maintenance machinery as well?
Yes. SGDC is the distributor for Jacobsen, Ransomes, Rain Bird, E-Z-GO, Cushman, Capillary Flow and fourteen other turfcare brands in India, so the fleet, irrigation and service come from the same partner that built the course.
