The history of the course dates back to 19th century when Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India (1899-1904) visited this spot and fell in love with this spot. He uses to camp in the cedar woods of Naldehra for weeks. He was so much in love with this place that he named his youngest daughter Alexandra after this place and was given ‘Naldehra’ as her middle name.
Surrounded by thick woods the course houses an ancient temple dedicated to Mahanag Devta built in the local style. The area surrounding the golf course is a popular excursion and picnic spot as well and offers some delightful walks and day-hikes. One can also go for horse rides around the golf ground.
April – October are the best months to visit as it remains closed during winters due to dry grass. Designed over a long sloping glade, the course is regarded as one of the most challenging ones in the country
