Golf Courses in Kaziranga

The signature hole is the par-4 18th, which requires a tee shot over a pond to a dogleg right fairway. The green is surrounded by bunkers and trees, making it a tough finishing hole.
The Jorhat Golf Course also has a clubhouse that offers various facilities and amenities for its members and guests. These include a pro shop, a driving range, a caddy service, a locker room, a bar, and a restaurant.
