Caddie's Summary: The ONLY
truly international course in NEPAL is Gokarna Golf Resort. It has the layout and
conditions of some of the best courses in the United States. And the Resort is simply
incredible. If you have ever wanted to escape for a week or two and play some fantastic
golf, kick back in a 5-Star Zen Resort, and help yourself to amazing spa treatment, this
is your destination. The resort has a beautiful indoor swimming area, spa (possibly the
best in all of NEPAL), and great golf. People travel from all over Asia to play this
venue. The golf course is placed in what was formally the king's private hunting reserve
and still maintains its natural character, as only 15 acres were actually cleared to
design the course. Ohhh, and best of all, the same golf course architect that designed
Bandon Dunes in Oregon (top 50 course in the United States), designed Gokarna. You are
sure to see small barking dear, monkeys and other natural wildlife and you only have to
travel twenty minutes from the airport.
The resort has a restaurant with three master chefs preparing foods from India, Nepal
and the West. All through-out the resort are comfortable seating areas, cocktail areas
and sculpture. This is a rare treat for any traveler. The modern Zen design is present
through the architecture, room layouts, and corridors. The Owner has done an amazing job
on the development of this project, and it shines through the staff that gratefully
comforts all visitors. |
