You might be surprised to learn that Nepal does not just play golf on Sundays, and like in the USA, unlimited golf stay and play packages in Florida can be found here. Professional and amateur golfers from all over the world have been drawn to Nepal ever since the Surya Nepal Masters Open started in 1993, and the world has seen how stunning Nepal is.
Nepal’s golf courses are a sight to behold, whether you are visiting for business or just playing a round of golf. It has its regular courses and then its beauties, just like any other country.
Let us rediscover Nepal’s golf courses as gems for players looking to swing their clubs while visiting this stunning nation.
Top 4 Golf Courses In Nepal
1. Himalaya Golf Course ( Pokhara)
If you ask anyone what they think of when you say “Nepal,” chances are they will mention the Himalayas if they do not say “temples.” So the Himalayan Golf Course should obviously come first in that case.
This course is definitely one of a kind. Sledgehammers were used to smash rocks and carve this course out of the countryside, as the entire course was constructed by hand. Finishing it took five years.
Fairways and greens are tucked into a ravine, and the clubhouse, opening and closing holes are at the top of the ravine, 250 feet up. This course is frequently cited as one of the most unusual in the world.
Both amateurs and professionals can play golf, but it is not what you will take home with you. Instead, you will recall the sound of waterfalls gushing into the Himalayan river below, the steep ravine walls, and eagles soaring above.
2. Gokarna Forest Golf Course ( Kathmandu)
The 1999-built Gokarna Forest Golf Course is reputed to be one of the best in South Asia and the best in Nepal. With the Langtang range’s snow-capped mountains in the background, Nepal’s only 18-hole course that meets international standards has one of the most breathtaking views. As you meander through a portion of the Gokarna forest, which is ancient, as evidenced by the sheer size of the trees you will pass, stunning snow-capped mountains will surround you. The trees are where you will encounter your first holes, which can be difficult for beginners.
3. Royal Nepal Golf Club (Kathmandu)
The Gauchar Golf Club originally opened this course in 1917 with an amazing 36 holes. It started out as a golf course for the king and his sons, Tribhuvan Shah.
The nearby airport has grown over the years, while the golf course has shrunk. It underwent a name change in 1965, and remodelling work was completed in 1989.
The nine-hole course is difficult and hosts nearly 30 tournaments each year. It has a stream running through it and is covered in trees.
4. Yeti’s Golf Course ( Pokhara)
The Fulbari Resort is home to this nine-hole course. Although it is a private course, you might be able to play one round if you go during the off-season, like in Tampa golf courses.
The course is perched atop a hill with a view of the stunning but treacherous Seti River gorge. Keep an eye out even though there have not been any reports of a real yeti being discovered!
Conclusion
Immerse yourself inside the culture and take in as much as you can if you are fortunate enough to be there for a few days in Nepal. Discover the local cuisine, take in some of the scenery away from the course, reevaluate your spirituality and also packages unlimited golf stay and play packages in Florida and Nepal.
Do not undervalue this magnificent nation. You cannot miss the beauty and atmosphere, even if all you do while here is hit golf balls.
