Golf enthusiasts are back at the redesigned course of East Point Golf Club in Visakhapatnam

A magnificent landscape and the redesigned international standard course at East Point Golf Club are set to make Visakhapatnam a golfing tourism destination

Enveloped in a tranquil setting that undulates its way through the bordering range of Eastern Ghats, the 137-year-old East Point Golf Club (EPGC) of Visakhapatnam is drawing golfers anew, from across the country. Andhra Pradesh’s only 18-hole category A course is spread over 86 acres, and was recently redesigned as per international standards at the cost of ₹20 crore.

It was inaugurated earlier this year and declared eligible for national and international tournaments. Golf enthusiasts are now back at the golf course, with its well-maintained fairways, putting greens and tees after a long pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The freshly designed golf course has more challenging fairways, with new water bodies and sand bunkers. EPGC also has a new driving range for its training academy.
