Golf course Travel Guide

The Shillong Golf Club is one of the many attractions of Shillong,  the capital of Meghalaya, a North-Eastern State of India. Founded by the British way back in 1898, with the idea of cooler golfing conditions during the hot and humid months of Indian summer, the 18 hole golf course is set in  serene and picturesque surroundings at over 5000 feet. Pine and Rhododendron trees line the the hilly layout which has a wonderful natural feel. Golfing here is a highlight in a trip to this beautiful part of the world, which the British apparently likened to Wales !

Shillong golf course is one of the highest golf course in the country; it boasts a full fledged eighteen-hole spread across the most beautiful location in the country. Some of the most prominent figures of the British history have swung their clubs at this course some sixty years ago and still continues to be a destiny for major golfing events to this date. Well known for its scenic views, Shillong Golf Course also holds the distinction of being the wettest golf course on earth. The lush green surrounding is covered with rain drops almost all the time and it adds that extra flavour to it. Bordered by a line of pine trees, this golf course is a fine reminder of the colonial days and the way of the British rulers.
