Course Info
The history of the Kurmitola Golf Club can be traced back to 1950. At that time club was located at Sahrawardy Uddyan named as Dhaka Golf Club. Due to increase of interest in golf it was later shifted to abandon Kurmitola Airfield in 1955 which is now Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) International Airport. That area was later selected for International Airport and as such a committee was formed to select a suitable place. Accordingly the committee had selected the present location, than the Golf course shifted to it’s present location in 1966 which is now known as Kurmitola Golf Club. Total area of this club is 126.20 acres. This area is Defense land.
