Kurmitola
Kurmitola Golf Club was formed in the mid 1950s, moving to their present site just south of Dhaka’s Zia International Airport a decade later. The course was routed over 125 acres by renowned designer Frank Pennink, with the layout subsequently revised in more recent times by Dr. Sukitti Klangvhisai.
An interesting course with tree-lined fairways and plenty of intimidating water hazards, Kurmitola is also home to the Dhaka Oddball Golf Society (DOGS), a group of expatriate golfers who compete every week for the 'Chief of the Pack' award – or rather, they try not to come last, as that person is presented with what gets collected in a doggy poop scoop!
