Efforts on to bring Golf City to Hyderabad’s Southern region
The Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA), in collaboration with local partner Stone Craft, has come forward to build an extensive Golf City in the southern part of the city
Hyderabad: After the Musi rejuvenation project, the Congress government is now making efforts to build a Golf City in the southern region of the city. However, the exact location is not disclosed yet.
The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA), in collaboration with local partner Stone Craft, has come forward to build an extensive Golf City in the southern part of the city.
To this effect, a delegation from the PGA, headquartered in Frisco, Texas, met Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu at Secretariat here on Saturday.
The Minister said that PGA and Stone Craft were ready to set up golf courses, residential complexes, hotels, and entertainment facilities if the Telangana government extends its support. He also mentioned that PGA is currently working with Shapoorji Pallonji in Mumbai to develop a Golf City, and Stone Craft has agreed to invest heavily in the Telangana project.
Once the Golf City is completed, it would create employment opportunities for 10,000 people over the next decade, the Minister said.
He further mentioned that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s vision for the “Fourth City” includes building a net-zero city free from pollution.
The PGA consortium will develop an 18-hole standard golf course across nearly 200 acres, which will be the first of its kind in South India. The Minister explained that the project would also enhance the region’s natural Deccan rocks and local water resources by implementing the Miyawaki method to grow forests.
The meeting was attended by Stone Craft CEO Keerthi Chilukuri, Alok Tiwari, and PGA representatives Tim Labb, Alex Hay, David Blum, Ken Sager, and Radha Kishore.
