About Gulmarg Golf Club

Gulmarg Golf Club is famously recognized as the highest 18 hole green golf course in the world, situated at a sweeping altitude of 8,690 feet (2,650 metres). Established during the British colonial era in 1911 in Gulmarg, this legendary meadow links is an iconic sporting attraction in Jammu and Kashmir.

Gulmarg Historic Golf Club Green

Historic Fairways and Redesigned Greens

The course was originally designed by Sir Neville Chamberlain before undergoing a master redesign by celebrated golf architect Peter Thomson. Spanning over 7,505 yards, the 72 par championship layout features natural undulating mounds, wildflower borders, and pine timber hazards that challenge seasoned golfers.

Clubhouse Heritage and Winter Switch

Truth is, the vintage wooden clubhouse preserves colonial trophies and antique scoring registers. While summer turns the expanse into lush putting greens, winter blankets the entire course in thick powder snow, converting the rolling mounds into beginner ski slopes and snowboarding hills.

  • Location: Located centrally in the Gulmarg bowl, within walking distance from Gulmarg market and main hotels.

  • Local Transit: Walk freely across the meadow pathways or take a short pony ride to the main clubhouse entrance.

  • October to November (Autumn): Golden foliage across surrounding chinars and pines with crisp mountain air.
