If you want to play golf without making a big hole in your pocket, Chandigarh is the right place for you.

In an effort to promote "golf tourism" in and around this city, the Chandigarh Industrial and Tourism Development Corporation Limited (CITCO) has joined hands with leading golf clubs of the region to allow golf lovers to use all the facilities at these clubs, normally not available to non-members.

At the same time, they can enjoy beautiful locales of Chandigarh and surrounding areas with their families.

"CITCO has tied up with three leading golf clubs of the region. Now tourists just need to pay the hotel tariffs and they can enjoy all golfing facilities at these clubs. We have many lucrative packages to attract more tourists," CITCO managing director D.K. Tiwari told IANS.

CITCO runs three hotels in Chandigarh, including the five-star Mountview. The agreement is with the Chandigarh Golf Club (CGC), the Chandigarh Golf Association (CGA) and the Panchkula Golf Club.

The package includes a complementary visit to Chandigarh from Delhi by Shatabdi Express train or a luxury bus, pick up/drop at the Chandigarh railway station and local conveyance from the hotel to the golf club
