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.
All the professionals described the course as "highly challenging
but fair golf course with a fantastic view of the Himalayas " located
next to the international airport and only 10 minutes drive from the center
of the city, it enjoys a panoramic view of Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himal
and other majestic mountains of Nepal .
The club has recently built a large modern clubhouse with grand view of
the mountains and the course. It boasts of a very spacious restaurant and
bar with wide selection of food and beverages at the most reasonable prices.
The club is a social institution run by members. All of the members are
from renowned businesses and social standing, including one of the Mt.
Everest summiteers, Mr. Ang Norbu Sherpa, who ascended the highest peak

| 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.
The course is playable throughout the year and has a clubhouse with coffee
shop and bar, and a small pro-shop selling golf amenity. Club membership
for local and overseas golfers is also available. Membership of the club
allows discounts, also for spouses and guests, at other facilities and
outlets in the resort. The club also offers special value added golf packages,
which can be enjoyed year round. |
