The people in India feel that an English township just would not be complete unless it has a golf course. The Naldehra Golf Club is located close to Shimla and is also one of the oldest golf clubs in the country. The Naldehra Golf Club features a beautiful view of the Shivalik ranges and contains a lush grove of deodar trees. The golf club environment is very beautiful and serene. A couple of India’s viceroys, Lord Lytton and Lord Curzon, found the place to be so beautiful they had stately summer homes located in the area.
This PAR 68 course offers some very fine turf and needs very little maintenance. It is a nine hole course that can also be played as an eighteen hole course. The sixth hole is the longest at 370 yards and the fifth hole is the shortest at 115 yards. The landscape of the course provides for a challenging game. Overshooting your ball could result in the ball rolling out of bounds. The greens also provide a challenge for the experienced golfer.
The Naldehra Golf Course also offers some hazards such as a water tank, a local temple, and greens that are located on the edge of the cliffs. Your golf game might be interrupted by a group of hill folk from the village in route to the Naldehra temple.
You can choose to stay the night in one of the log huts which are located in the deodar forest. The woods are home to a wide variety of birds and apple orchards will provide you with fresh fruit.
The Naldehra Golf Course is located in one of the most popular tourist’s destinations the country has to offer. There are a lot of sporting activities for people to enjoy while staying in the area. There is also river rafting and parasailing for the tourist who does not choose to play golf.
Golf is basically considered to be a holiday sport and the Naldehra Golf Course offers a wonderful climate and beautiful scenery. With its rolling hills and beautiful rivers, this is a top choice for holiday vacations.
