Diploma in Golf Management

Yes. This is a one-year Diploma in Golf Management in India, awarded by Mind Power University, Bhimtal, Nainital and run with Axiom, Netherlands, at ₹1,00,000 per year for Indian students. Until now the Indian route into golf was coaching accreditation through the National Golf Academy of India or the PGA of India rather than a university qualification; the golf management diplomas that existed were overseas.

Through the operations and business side of golf rather than the playing side. Our one-year Diploma in Golf Management covers club, course, academy and event operations — membership, commercial roles and tournament support. Until now the Indian route has been working up inside a club or academy; there has been no formal qualification to take first.

A handful, and almost all of them are academy coaching programmes rather than university qualifications — search the term and the results are golf academies, not colleges. This diploma is awarded by Mind Power University, Bhimtal, Nainital, which makes it a university qualification rather than a club certificate.

Mind Power University, Bhimtal, Nainital — a UGC-recognised State Private University established in 2024 under Uttarakhand’s private-universities law, which places it within the definition of a University in Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956, and lets it award its own degrees. Teaching is at the Sportal IMPACT campus at Bhimtal, Nainital district. The programme is run in partnership with Axiom, Netherlands.

The diploma is the management and operations side — running clubs, academies and events. The B.Sc. is the coaching side, and it is a full undergraduate degree rather than a diploma.

For Indian students, ₹1,00,000 a year is the programme fee, exclusive of admission charges and residential costs. For international students, EUR 3,500 a year excludes accommodation and meals.

One year. The ₹1,00,000 is a fee per year, exclusive of admission charges and residential costs.
