golf courses - hardly any stretch is flat - the land slopes and inclines along the complete area of the course which has a par of 72. This highest
golf course in the world, also boasts of India's longest hole, a par five, 610 yards. Unlike most of the other par-fives on the
Gulmarg, course, the eighth plays much longer than its 610 yards because of the uphill factor. The green course features not only the rippling rivulets, pre-defined streams and ponds, but also herds of sheep which rules out the need for lawn mowers and keep the fairways in excellent condition.

Gulmarg, course is unquestionably the 17th. Although not very long, it calls for some precise hitting to land on the green which is daringly placed on the edge of a cliff.
