Discover what makes this destination truly special
The Gulmarg Golf Course is a vast, 18-hole course situated in a large meadow in the center of Gulmarg. At an altitude of about 8,700 feet, it is recognized as one of the highest green golf courses in the world. The course's layout naturally follows the rolling slopes and dips of the valley, which means players face unique challenges due to the undulating terrain. The fairways are lined with tall pine, chinar, and fir trees, and the entire area offers unobstructed views of the surrounding snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range.
