Over the years golf has become the centerpiece of attraction in MCL and is the prime recreational activities among its executives. Presently the Club has around 50 active members. MGC takes pride in keeping the numbers of members at levels which ensure that one can almost always just turn up and play without a tee booking, except on a tournament day. Since there is limited number of Caddies in the roll of the club, it is better to come along with a Caddie to avoid disappointment. The Club House – “The Hut” was built in 1998, which was later on extended in 2013.
