The Cosmopolitan Golf Annexe at Saidapet has a par 72,18 hole course. Spread over an area of 75 acres, a variety of trees run along the fairways which are tight for the first nine holes but open out for the back nine.

The well laid cosmopolitan course has been redesigned by Peter Thompson with a liberal use of lateral water hazards. The first hole is a 371 yards, par 4, dog leg around a water tank. It's best to use a three iron to place the ball at the elbow, which will give you an easy approach shot. Like most of the greens on the course, the first is also thick and slow, and requires firm and sure putts.

The fifth hole is a test even for the seasoned golfer. A 432 yard, par four, it has the tightest fairway, with a thick row of trees running along on the left and an out-of-bounds fence to the right. The first drive has to be lofted well over the trees to fade into the fairway.

Variety of trees line the tight fairways on the front nine. Back nine is wide open. A Peter Thomson design with a liberal use of lateral water hazards. Most of the greens are thick and slow and require good control with firm and sure putts. A sea level course that offers the best golfing weather in February.
