Mallikarjun Naidu’s journey from a top corporate leader in the BFSI sector to a pioneering entrepreneur is a testament to his vision and passion for creating unique experiences. After excelling in the financial services industry in the United States for nearly two decades, Naidu discovered a new passion for golf, which led him to revolutionize leisure in India.

During his time in the US, Naidu embraced the inclusive, vibrant culture of golf. However, upon returning to India, he noticed that the sport was still seen as an elite, exclusive pursuit. Motivated by his entrepreneurial spirit, Naidu envisioned a welcoming space where both seasoned and novice golfers could experience the game’s thrill. This vision became reality with Prime Golf.

Located in the bustling heart of Whitefield, Bengaluru, Prime Golf spans an impressive 1.52 lakh sq ft. This groundbreaking venue merges the excitement of golf with the luxury of craft brewing. Naidu’s concept, encapsulated in the ethos “Swing, Sip, and Soak in the Fun,” aims to make golf accessible and enjoyable for all.

But Prime Golf is more than just golf and beer; it’s a space for connection, relaxation, and enjoying life’s finest moments. Guests can immerse themselves in the sport at precision-designed individual golf bays while enjoying panoramic views from an expansive bar with the largest LED screen in its category. With a 1,500-person seating capacity, Prime Golf promises an immersive experience for all.
