Golf Course Around Nainital - Ranikhet


Golf is like a love affair...If its not taken seriously, its no fun and and if you do, it can break your heart.


The winding clear roads of Ranikhet bring you to this beautiful Golf Course spread on both sides of the road with amazing views of the Himalayas. In the vicinity of Trishul Peak & Nanda Devi, its probably the most beautiful gift to us by the British. Tee off at 6,000 ft. in Ranikhet and find out yourself why Golf is called the most beautiful game. The weather, surroundings and the greens blend so harmoniously in Ranikhet, no doubt the British chose this place as a Golfing Destination.


The Golf Course is maintained by the Kumaon Regiment and civilians are not permitted to play. Well if you know someone from the regiment, then obviously you could be considered :) The problem with the Golf Course is the road which divides the Course in two parts. Tourist buses, local transport are allowed to cross the Golf Course but thankfully the vehicles cant stop.


If you want to visit the Golf Course, make sure you park the vehicle and then come over. But if the game is ON, then please stay away and watch from a distance as the disgusted army officers have a habit of breaking people's head than putting :)
