\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGolfing in Jammu & Kashmir<\/a><\/b> is one of the high point for tourists seeking leisure in the lap of nature. This is the place where golf lovers can enjoy the game throughout the summer from the months of April to November. The valley offers an outstanding opportunity to play golf for long hours in the refreshing golf courses of Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sanasar.\n

\nPlaying golf in Kashmir can be more relaxing and enjoyable experience as compared to the golfing in plains because of its moderately lower temperature. With every shot, the player watching the ball\u2019s trajectory gets a totally different view unmatched yet. The views encourage all players to excel and impress others. During winter months, the golf courses in Kashmir remain close when the entire valley covered with snow.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGolfing is best enjoyed from April to November in general. However, delayed snowfall extends this limit.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
