[5] Colonel Fane Sewell, the then Secretary of the Blue Mountains Tennis and Cricket Club, formed the golf course in March 1891, which initially comprised nine holes.

[1] As the air is thinner in Ooty due to the high altitude, the balls travel comparatively farther.

The golf course contains many varieties of trees like rhododendron, oak, aromatic eucalyptus, and fir which add to the scenic atmosphere.

[1] Accommodation for golfers is provided by the golf club with an annex with ten rooms and six huts.

Other facilities include indoor games like billiards, cards and table tennis, swimming pool, bar and a restaurant.
