Golf Links, New Delhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Golf Links is a neighbourhood in New Delhi, India. It is very close to Khan Market, the most expensive market in India. It is one of the most expensive properties to buy in India, where the cheapest houses sell for millions of US dollars.[citation needed] It is considered one of the richest neighborhoods in India[where?], and the name is inspired by the Delhi Golf Course nearby. It is also very close to a similar neighbourhood called Jorbagh, and is a very low-key locale. It has only 210 independent houses. In 2008, a select few properties were sold, for an average price of $8 Million, resulting in the valuation to reach ₹ 4 lakh/sq. yard, the highest ever amount paid.

In 2010-11, some properties were sold at an average price of $12 Million to certain ultra-wealthy families. These valuations have dramatically raised the profile of the locality and each household is worth at least US$ 15-25 Million.
