Lucknow has a modest yet blossoming golfing community with clubs balancing leisure, green space, and sporting challenges. Lucknow Golf Club and Sushant Golf City Ansal API are two recognisable names that embody some of the charm and pace of historic golf clubs.

These clubs are primarily member-only, with a few managing to allow guests or access through pre-attained booking or invited events. Lucknow's golf clubs maintain a well-maintained course.

With some basic coaching and practice facilities on-site with a clubhouse, Lucknow's golf clubs are suitable for the seasoned golfer and a novice looking to play in peaceful surroundings.
