Golf in Raj Bhawan, Nainital
In Naintal Golf players can play their favourite
game at one of the best golf course of Northern
India. From the level of the
lower lawn of Raj Bhawan, well graded paths
traverse the outlying portion of the grounds
where the golf course lies. It is an 18 hole
golf course with 18 different tees. Golfing was
started here in 1926 with the efforts of Lord Malcolm
Hailey, the then Governor of the United
Provinces. The golf course was designed and
constructed by the British Army Engineers. A
culmination of masterpiece designing the course
is spread over an area of 50 acres amidst a
hilly landscape and is marked with a
British penchant for sylvan surroundings.
For draining out the water from the golf course, an
underground tunnel, 137.1 m. in length, has been
constructed which indeed is a
marvel of engineering skill. In 1994, the Golf course was opened for the
public. It has since been developed
to a great extent. Thanks to the efforts of Shri
Moti Lal Vora and Shri Romesh Bhandari, the then
Governors of Uttarakhand.
