The Coimbatore area hosts some of the best golf courses in South India. These include Coimbatore Golf Club, Kovai Hills Golf & Country Club, and the old-world charm of the Wellington Gymkhana Club. These are beautifully situated courses that entertain amateurs and experienced players with their well-maintained layout.

These clubs are generally exclusive to members, but guests and visitors may be granted access only with the accompaniment of a member or with a special booking, depending on the club's policy.
