Regarded as one of South Asia’s finest and most spectacular golf courses, the Gokarna Forest Golf Course is stunningly set within 470 acres of the centuries-old Gokarna Forest Reserve and is an oasis for golfers from around the world. Spread over 140 acres at 4,550 ft (1.39 km). above sea level, the 6,755-yard par 72 course boasts the only bent grass greens on an 18-hole course in South and Southeast Asia. The resort prides itself on its natural features, such as soft cushions on local Bermuda fairways, lush, unyielding forests, winding streams, wandering hills, and valleys opening to a holy river’s plain, all set against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayan mountain range. Moreover, golfers are always accompanied by monkeys watching the game progress with shy spotted deer peering from the trees.
