Golf in Kashmir
Also searched as Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg · 5 places to play · updated Aug 2026
Kashmir is the most scenic golf in India and among the most casual-visitor-friendly. Royal Springs above Dal Lake is the showpiece — a Robert Trent Jones II championship 18 from 2001, still hosting the PGTI's J&K Open in August 2026, run on a play-and-pay model booked by phone to the pro shop. Up the Lidder valley, Pahalgam's 18 sits on a plateau at roughly 2,400 metres — one of the highest green courses anywhere — arranged through J&K Tourism or your hotel once in town, with equipment hire reported.
