Heritage
The Tollygunge Club in Kolkata is India’s premier country club, ranked among the top 20 clubs globally. Spanning 100 acres, it features a clubhouse over 220 years old and is located just 9 km from central Kolkata. Founded in 1895 for British merchants and bankers, Tollygunge Club started as an equestrian facility and has evolved into a versatile club with unique flora and fauna. It offers golf, tennis, squash, swimming, and equestrian sports, bridge room, salon, and ayurvedic center. The Tollygunge Club was founded by a Scottish banker, William Dixon Cruickshank to provide facilities for games, sports and pastimes in the neighborhood of Kolkata, then called Calcutta, and to afford to its members all the usual privileges, advantages, conveniences and accommodation of a residential and Gymkhana Club.

Bio Diversity
Tolly lies along the Adi Ganga (Tolly’s Nullah), once a part of the Ganga River. The area originally had mangrove vegetation, which gradually changed to freshwater plants as salinity decreased. Over time, both native and exotic trees were introduced, creating rich biodiversity. The club’s golf course, trees and ponds now provide habitats for many birds such as mynas, kingfishers, egrets and wagtails. Despite urbanization, some wildlife like jackals, snakes and frogs still survive in this green oasis.
