Located just 10 km to the east of Kathmandu, the Gokarna Forest Golf Resort is without doubt the crowning jewel of Nepal’s golf community. A total of 6715 yards, the par 72 course is Nepal’s sole international standard 18 hole layout, designed by internationally acclaimed designer David Kidd. The facility plays host to a number of professional and amateur tournaments for players all over Asia each year including the Surya Nepal Masters which was held at the course from 20 Nov – 23 Nov. For the golfing nut, playing golf in this country is more than just 18 holes of masochistic frustration placing a little white ball in a 3 and ¾ inch hole in the ground – it offers a unique golfing experience unlike any other in the world.
