Considered to be the first 18 hole Golf Course in India and third oldest in the world , the Shillong Golf Club is easily one of the most beautiful courses anywhere. Charted in a surging valley full of pine groves and rhododendron trees, it is also called the Gleneagle of the East.Its immense tourism potential has remained largely unlocked till now. This is likely to change soon, thanks to the Japanese. The Japanese ambassador to India has said that Japan will organise an Indo-Japan Golf Tournament in Shillong to attract Indian and foreign tourists. The Meghalaya government is also trying to involve IIM Shillong, tour operators and ASSOCHAM to develop tourism in this lovely hill state which, unlike some other states in the North East, is safe and not affected by insurgency. Great holiday destination.
