Wild life sanctuaries, beautiful Tea Gardens, white waters for rafting and
set amongst them the enchanting golf courses of the country.
Most of these are the legacy of British who built it to enhance their
lifestyle while managing the Tea Gardens.
This is why grandeur of king's lifestyle reflects in the location of golf
courses in Tea Gardens. Unknown to the world, are these hundreds of acres of
lush green plantations of Tea, which produce the finest cup of tea for the
world. Little known to the world is also the lifestyle of the tea garden
managers, living in bunglows spreading over acres of land and lush lawns
with trappings of the Raj. Rose wood dated furniture adds grandeur to the
ambience.
The
effort now is to give a taste to the golfers from all over the world- the
taste of luxury and lifestyle while enjoying golf at a course, set amidst
the most enchanting countryside.
With existing small air strips, it is possible for tourists to directly fly
to Guwahati International Airport and charter a small aircraft straight to
the tea garden, saving a lot of travel time.
There are 20 golf courses within 200 kms. The courses on offer range from
hilly, undulating and the standard ones. The known ones being Digboi Golf
Club, Margherita Golf Club, Thakurbari Golf Club, Biswanath Golf Club and
Jorhat Gymkhana Golf Club. The courses have natural greens, as there is
plenty of rainfall and groundwater available. There are good club houses for
post a golf session that serves everything with luxury.
Living in a Tea Estate in countryside and playing golf is comparable to a
holiday in France Vineyards.
A greater value for money tour is blending golf tour with a few world
famous circuits of this region.
