Founded in 1829, ‘Royal’ as it is fondly known, is the oldest golf club outside the British Isles. You can almost smell the British influence once you enter the aristocratic building. Gleefully stuck in the royal times, the golf club has been home to some enthralling races and stylish soirees. But don’t get too overwhelmed yet. The race is where the adrenaline is and where the action really sets in. If you can, do catch a derby at this iconic turf and watch the handsome horses run in all their glory. You can also book a putting session at the golf field to get a taste of this blue blooded game.
