The afternoons are long and lazy, the
evenings vibrant. Clubs, both social and sporting, are very much a part of Kolkata’s
culture. They are witness to a glorious past and are increasingly popular even now. The
Bengal Club (estd 1827), Calcutta Club (estd 1907), The Saturday Club (estd 1880) and
Dalhousie Institute are the most popular social clubs.
Sporting clubs outnumber the social
clubs. The Tollygunge Club and Royal Calcutta Golf Club have the finest full length golf
courses. Others include South Club for grasscourt tennis, Polo Club within the Race
Course, Royal Calcutta Turf Club, Calcutta Rowing Club and Lake Club. The Ladies Golf
Club, with a nine hole course, is the only ladies golf club in the world. The Calcutta
