No clear assertion of notability, very advert-y (and has been tagged as such since January). Does not appear to be notable at all. TallNapoleon (talk) 06:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Founded in 1895, included in a paper encyclopaedia held at many libraries and some trivial coverage available in news, Chop off the advert like sections. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 07:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of references available. Notable. Founded in British era and very popular even now . Shyamsunder (talk) 08:47, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep shows notability. Also I don't see how it is written like an ad.  It seems to me it is more informative.  Please explain more. The Weak Willed 11:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: Couple of things. Age does not imply notability. Nor does "popularity". There are, I suspect, many "popular" golf courses that do not have their own article--and you'll be able to find minor local press coverage for most of them. TallNapoleon (talk) 15:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep In addition to the other 'keeps': in The Great Hill Stations of Asia by Barbara Crossette, the "Kodaikanal Club" and its "Golf Club" are discussed as an interesting and notable aspect of the transition from the colonial era to modern India. The WP article sure needs improving, though. Priyanath talk 16:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * strong Keep A very beautiful and historic golf club.Dr. Szląchski (talk) 04:07, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I would really like to see more sources establishing notability. The one Priyanath provided sounds great, but I can think of lots of very pretty things that don't meet notability standards. TallNapoleon (talk) 05:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, This article is at least as notable as any of the other Golf clubs in India and is better quality than most of those articles. Marcus (talk) 14:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
