Gulmarg Golf Club
Play 18 holes at 2,650m elevation with breathtaking Himalayan views — India's longest golf course since 1890
The Gulmarg Golf Club is a public golf course nestled in a pristine meadow at Gulmarg in Baramulla district, Jammu & Kashmir, India. Located 35 km from Baramulla city and 52 km from Srinagar, this remarkable course sits at an elevation of 2,650 metres (8,690 ft) above sea level, making it the second highest green golf course in the world.
The golf course transforms with the seasons — from April to November, it operates as a world-class golfing destination surrounded by wildflower meadows and snow-capped peaks. Come winter (December to March), the fairways become covered in a thick layer of snow, and the course transforms into a popular skiing and snowboarding center.
At 7,505 yards (6,863 m), Gulmarg Golf Course is the longest golf course in India, featuring the country's longest hole — the 8th, a challenging 610-yard par 5.
