Only 22 kms away from Shimla, Naldehra was chosen as the site for a nine-hole course by Lord Curzon,Viceroy of India, in 1905. So enamoured was he of the place, he named his third daughter ‘Alexandra Naldera Curzon’ (born 2004).

Surrounded by Himalaya and dense Himalayan cedar, it is one of the oldest and yet another picturesque golf courses in India. It is now an 18-hole course – with an ancient temple by one of the greens. The sloping glade makes it a challenging course.

The 5^th (Par 3 & 151 yards) and the 9^th (Par 4) are the signature holes and also the most difficult to play. Tee shots on both these holes are across the road over tall pine trees.
