Carved
out from the erstwhile Dr. Salim Ali City Forest
on the foothills of the Zabarvan Hills overlooking
the Dal Lake, The Royal Springs Golf Club offering
panoramic views of the Dal Lake and pine dotted
mountain peaks, is without doubt one of the
most beautiful golf courses in Asia. The undulating
fairways and the challenging greens make it
a treat for golfers. The most talked about hole
on the course is the famous par-3 fifth, which
offers a panoramic view of the Dal Lake from
an elevated tee.
The Royal Springs lies in the high-security
Chashmeshahi area, surrounded by the Sher-e-Kashmir
International Convention Centre and a plethora
of quality hotels.The apple, peach and plum
trees among heavenly flower beds, providing
a rich hue of colour and aroma, are an added
attraction. The course design calls for strategic
play and would definitely favour those having
strong short game. |
