Kashmir offers a unique opportunity to play golf all through the summer --- from April to November --- in invigorating surroundings where the wind whispers through trees of chinar and pine

.In the verdant golf courses at Srinagar and Gulmarg you will be able to play for longer hours then you can in the plains because of the lower temperature --- Srinagar's highest temperature never goes above 30 degree celcius. The layout of both the courses, too, will delight you. Srinagar has an 18 hole golf course with common fairways, and a par of 70. This course is open throughout the year, unless snowbound in winter, is relatively flat and in summer, professionals from all part of India coverage here to practice and to participate in tournaments.

The course at Gulmarg is like nothing you have ever seen or imagined before. Situated at an incredibly high altitude of 3.730 metres above sea level, it is the highest green golf course anywhere in the world. The layout of the course too is strikingly different from most golf courses --- hardly any stretch is flat --- the land slopes and inclines along the complete area of the course which has a par of 72.

You do not have to be full-time member of either golf club in order to be able to play there. There is a special facility ideal for the visitor to Kashmir : daily membership.
