The   aristocracy were enamoured of the gentlemen's game that was so popular in   British India. Unfortunately, the weather did not permit them the indulgence of   creating golf courses in this arid wilderness, and it was only in Jaipur, as a   part of the large scale palace renovations undertaken by Maharaja Man Singh that   a course was added to the city. 
That   18-hole course is still the only one in Jaipur and, in fact, in Rajasthan, and   though it is not a professional course, it is good for a round of golf in what   are picturesque surroundings: a palace next door, and peacocks on the   hazards.
