Established in 1829 in Dum Dum, a northeastern suburb of Calcutta, the Royal Calcutta (first named the Dum Dum Golf Club) is the oldest golf club in the world outside the United Kingdom.
King George V and Queen Mary conferred the Royal title on Calcutta GC in 1911 to commemorate their visit in that year. It is the only golf club in India honoured by royal prerogative during the period of British rule (1848-1947).
This is the home club of successful Indian tour player S.S.P. Chowrasia, whose father was a greenkeeper here, and where SSP started out as a caddie.
