Still, have you heard of a Heritage Golf Course being built near Mysore Airport? Most Mysoreans haven’t.
Well informed sources from the Middle East have told us about the new rage in the Gulf: investing in this mythical Heritage Golf Course.
A google search unearthed this link to Harradine Golf promoters (scroll down for Mysore details and photos) and this information about their plans:
Design a master plan to include an 18 hole tournament course, a 9 hole executive course, practice facilities, location and footprints of real estate, club house, hotel, convention center etc. The final plan was approved in December 2005 and tender documents are being prepared for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Construction has been delayed due to issues related to land ownership but is expected to start by November.
After multiple inquiries, we have had to conclude that Mysoreans know nothing about this golf course, whereas Gulf-NRIs seem to have already booked their tickets to land in Mysore Airport and walk over to the Golf Course. No wonder, they are willing to invest millions in the project too. But as usual, oursiders seem to know more and act purposefuly about Mysore and its potential.
What’s up with that?
Has that favorite activity of Mysoreans, the afternoon siesta, got anything to do with it?

Right, RK, Harsha’s gadagalu were “sakkath hot”.
You idiots, write Kannada in ‘Kannada’ script. If you are so technologically challenged & can’t write in Kannada, stick to English.
saar gaades are good but the amsha in the original post is how moDi and maaye are spreading spreading far and wide from the sylvan plains of mysooru and how nammanthOru are stuck being bhogis of sushupti, gaade mathu and gusgase payasa.

Very true. Well, Devanhalli airport is still very near and dear to our politicians, let that get completed first.
When I was in Mysore a few weeks ago, I heard a few different people talk about an “International” airport on Huinsur road. Is that true ? Since the land acquisition near Mandakalli has become a nightmare (as usual), there was this thought for the Hunsur road airport or so. I never read anything about it, all the “aMte kaMte saMte” ‘s.
Maybe airport on Hunsur Road would be a better option else lakes near the airport would be gone forever citing reasons like bird-hits. Also when most of airport users (companies and junta) dwell towards Hunsur Road, it makes all the more sense. Anyway, that’s a different story. There is also one more rumour that Sahara is coming up with another ‘Amby Valley’ behind Chamundi Hills and about 100 plus acres have been purchased near Utthanahalli. There are two other famous headlines that we see quite often – ‘AAI okays Mandakalli Airport’ and ‘Over Rs.2400 crores to be invested in Mysore by IT Companies’. After a few days we get see these headlines – ‘Road Blocks hit Airport Project’ or ‘KIADB not able to acquire land’. I have seen these two appear twice in the papers during the last 8 to 10 months. These are unavoidable rumours by the real estate goons that have led to spiralling costs of land at Mysore. The Golf course idea was mentioned to me sometime back by few farmers at Thandavapura. They also mentioned that land has been purchased (mostly unconfirmed) On the other hand it is a fact that golfing is now a craze amongst the rich all over, and they spend lavishly to get a piece of action. The more exotic the location, the more crowd it would draw.
There was also another “rumor” that the people who own the Eagleton Golf Course near Bangalore were coming up with a similar one in Mysore… so that makes it 2 new courses in Mysore.. wow !!
Airport kattokke munche yaradru swalpa Mandovi motors hattira tar haakteera? Tumba thanks.
Disneyland is also going to come in Mysore if a 27 hole golf course i.e. heritage golf is coming in Mysore! Any one has a comment??????????
