Royal Nepal Golf Club
Originally called the Gauchar Golf Club, Royal Nepal Golf Club is the oldest course in the kingdom of Nepal and possibly one of the oldest golf clubs in the region. Established in 1917, the club was given royal patronage by His late Majesty King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in 1965.During its long history, many members of the Royal family and visiting foreign dignities have graced the club. The club has a very challenging 9-hole golf course, which organizes over 26 golf tournaments annually, including His Majesty's Birthday Cup and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Birthday Cup and held the first ever Nepal Open Golf Tournament for professionals of the region for 6 years.
Yeti Golf Course At Fulbari Resort and Spa
The Yeti's Golf course is perched on the brink of a Green Canyon gorges overlooking a most unusual riverscape of terraces and steeply forested bank of the River Seti flowing 300 ft. below. The area is tranquil, the views of the Himalayas to the north, and the Seti River far below, makes golfing here a very unusual experience. Although it is only a 9 holes course, the use of alternate tees, greens, and pin positions, gives the golfers the feeling of playing a full 18-hole layout. One needs 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish the first round of the holes. It's quite difficult because of the deliberate small greens, narrow fairways and closed out-of bound (O/B) fenced with surrounding water ponds. A number of the tee shots across the Seti Gorge is mentally challenging even to the best golfers.
