  • The Royal Willingdon Sports Club is a private sports club in South Mumbai. The club was founded in 1918 by Lord Willingdon, at that time Governor of Bombay. Amenities include an 18-hole golf course, six tennis courts, squash and badminton courts, health club and a swimming pool. Non-sports amenities include a formal dining room, a semi-formal dining room, bar, garden cafe, bakery, members' provision and separate beer and wine shop, a swimming pool cafe and a plant nursery. Due to overwhelming demand membership has been closed since 1985 and only the children of current members, on a selective basis, can become members. Almost all members belong to wealthy, old money families. The club is very selective in granting membership to current members' children and the applicant’s family background takes top priority along with their profession. The crème de la crème of Bombay society considers Willingdon the most prestigious club in the nation. The Club was one of the first to admit indigenous Indians before Partition. Willingdon, along with the Breach Candy Club and Bombay Gymkhana, makes up the “Top Three” (a name coined for the top three private clubs of the city of Mumbai). (en)
