Pilikula Golf Course Upgraded to World-Class Standard
The Pilikula Golf Course in Mangaluru is getting a big upgrade and will be inaugurated on January 9.
It started as a small course in 1999 and has been improved to meet international standards.
The course now has floodlights and is one of the few fully lit golf courses on India's west coast.
The upgrade also focused on being eco-friendly, with many new trees planted.
The course is managed by a mix of government and private members and is a big attraction for both local and international visitors.
It's not just for golf; it's also a place for tourism and corporate events.
The inauguration will show off the new facilities and how Mangaluru is becoming a great place for sports and recreation.
Pilikula Golf Course in Mangaluru is set for inauguration on January 9 after a major upgrade.
The course is now classified as A-Plus and meets international standards, featuring floodlighting.
Environmental sustainability was prioritized, with 7,500 saplings planted and 250 acacia trees relocated or removed.
The course is managed by a joint committee of government officials and private members, funded largely through member contributions.
The facility includes a golf academy, state-of-the-art maintenance systems, and employs nearly 200 people.
