by Established in 1928 as a 9-hole course, Golmuri Golf Course has grown into a full 18-hole, Par 72 layout and is today one of the finest golfing venues in Jharkhand. Located within the Golmuri Club premises in Jamshedpur, this private course is known for its tight fairways, well-placed bunkers, and naturally challenging terrain.
Over the decades, it has earned a strong reputation among both amateur and professional golfers for its demanding yet enjoyable design.
A Course That Tests Accuracy and Skill
Golmuri Golf Course is not just about power, it is about precision. The narrow fairways and strategically positioned bunkers require careful shot selection. Players must know how to fade or hook the ball around trees and handle different types of lies confidently.
Built on a natural base of adobe clay, sand, and rock, the course reflects the character of the surrounding hilly landscape. The terrain adds variety to each hole, ensuring that no two shots feel the same.
Despite being technically challenging, the course maintains a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment. Golfers often return not just for the game, but for the overall experience.
