We are honored to be featured in the latest issue of Golf Course Architecture magazine, where our Founder & Principal Architect, Vijit Nandrajog, discusses the strategic evolution of the Kharghar Valley Golf Course in Navi Mumbai. This project represents a departure from traditional urban parkland designs, prioritizing ‘Thoughtful Playability’ and the preservation of the land's natural hydrological and geological character. By transforming a former nine-hole site into a sprawling 18-hole championship facility, we have created a premier sporting hub that balances record-breaking features with an inclusive, nature-first ecosystem.
The successful transition of Kharghar Valley into a full 18-hole, Par-72 layout, now the largest in the Mumbai region.
A design that maximizes dramatic ridges, valleys, and rocky outcrops to mirror the movement of the surrounding hills.
The retention of natural water channels that govern course routing and serve as tactical hazards on nine holes.
Advanced ‘invisible engineering’ and land contouring that ensure playability even during heavy 3,000mm annual rainfalls.
A unique 290-yard hole born from geological challenges, offering diverse risk-reward options for every golfer.
A multi-tee system and dedicated short-game academy designed to transition players from learners to professionals.
Sophisticated underground drainage and large-scale ponds that harvest rainwater for course irrigation.
