Hyderabad: Following the Musi rejuvenation project, the Congress government is now working on plans to develop a Golf City in the southern region of the city, though the specific location has not yet been revealed.
The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA), in collaboration with local partner Stone Craft, is set to create a sprawling Golf City in this area.
To this end, a delegation from the PGA, based in Frisco, Texas, met with Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu at the Secretariat on Saturday.
The Minister stated that both the PGA and Stone Craft are prepared to establish golf courses, residential complexes, hotels, and entertainment facilities, provided the Telangana government extends its support. He also noted that the PGA is currently collaborating with Shapoorji Pallonji in Mumbai to develop a Golf City and that Stone Craft has committed to making significant investments in the Telangana project.
Once completed, the Golf City is expected to create employment opportunities for 10,000 people over the next decade, the Minister added.
He also mentioned that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s vision for the “Fourth City” includes the development of a net-zero city free from pollution.
The PGA consortium plans to construct an 18-hole standard golf course spanning nearly 200 acres, which will be the first of its kind in South India. The Minister explained that the project will also enhance the region’s natural Deccan rocks and local water resources by employing the Miyawaki method for forest growth.
The meeting included the attendance of Stone Craft CEO Keerthi Chilukuri, Alok Tiwari, and PGA representatives Tim Labb, Alex Hay, David Blum, Ken Sager, and Radha Kishore.
