The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has recorded 856 membership registrations for the Dwarka Golf Course within just 11 days of opening the process, following a directive by Delhi Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu to launch Lifetime Membership for the facility. The figures, shared by a DDA official on Tuesday, 4 August, signal robust demand across both membership categories.
Registration Numbers So Far
Of the 856 applications received, 636 fall under the Non-Government Category, which has already exceeded its cap of 600 memberships — making it oversubscribed within the first fortnight. The Government Category has attracted 220 applications against 250 available slots and is nearing full subscription, according to a DDA statement.
Membership Fees and Tenure Options
The Lifetime Membership fee is set at ₹3.50 lakh for the Government Category and ₹7.50 lakh for the Non-Government Category. For those seeking shorter commitments, a three-year membership is priced at ₹1.20 lakh (Government) and ₹2.50 lakh (Non-Government), while a five-year membership costs ₹1.80 lakh and ₹4.50 lakh respectively. A non-refundable registration fee of ₹2,500 is payable online at the time of application.
How the Allotment Will Work
The registration window opened on 21 July and will remain active for two months. The DDA expects both categories to be oversubscribed by the time the window closes. In categories where eligible applications exceed available slots, allotment will be conducted through a fully computerised draw of lots to ensure a transparent and impartial selection process.
Successful applicants will be required to deposit the applicable membership fee online within 30 days of receiving their offer of membership. The DDA has also cautioned that multiple applications from the same individual will be liable for rejection.
What This Means for Golfers in Delhi
The DDA is offering a total of 850 Lifetime Memberships — 600 under the Non-Government Category and 250 under the Government Category. The addition of three-year and five-year tenure options provides flexibility for golfers who may not wish to commit to a lifetime plan. With demand already outpacing supply in the Non-Government segment, the draw of lots is likely to determine the final list of members once the window shuts in September 2025.
Point of View
However, limits access to a narrow income band, raising questions about whether a public authority's flagship facility is being optimised for revenue over broad citizen access. The computerised draw of lots is a sound transparency measure, but the DDA would do well to publish the draw proceedings publicly to pre-empt any perception of favouritism — a recurring concern with DDA allotment processes historically.
