[3][4] Gulmarg, which means the meadow of flowers, is a hill station surrounded by pine and fir.

The course was later redesigned and turned into the Gulmarg Golf Club by Peter Thomson in 1970.

It was developed in a links-style in accordance with its surrounding natural landscape and made more challenging by relocation of the greens.

The golf course hosted the Northern India Cup regularly until 1989, when it was shifted to Delhi.

From December to March, the golf course becomes a winter sports center for skiing and snowboarding.
