Margherita Golf Club
About this course
Margherita Golf Club sits in the tea-growing region of upper Assam, near the town of Dibrugarh in India's northeast. The course occupies land characteristic of the Brahmaputra valley—relatively flat terrain interspersed with water features and vegetation typical of the region. Like many Indian clubs established during the colonial era, Margherita reflects that heritage in its routing and maintenance traditions, though details of its original design and architect are not widely documented in standard golf references. The layout plays across relatively open ground with strategic water hazards and tree-lined fairways that define the holes. The flat topography means elevation changes are minimal, placing emphasis on accuracy and course management rather than dramatic elevation play. Vegetation includes both planted trees and native Assamese flora, creating a landscape distinct from courses in India's more arid regions. Margherita serves the local golfing community and visiting players in Assam, offering a traditional nine- or eighteen-hole experience depending on current configuration. The club maintains the social and dining customs common to Indian golf clubs, functioning as a hub for the region's golfing life. While not widely ranked among India's championship venues, the course provides a genuine test suited to its setting and represents the quieter, community-focused side of Indian golf outside the major metropolitan centers.

Getting there
The journey to Margherita Golf Club unfolds across one of India's most remote and verdant frontiers, typically beginning at Dibrugarh Airport (DIB), a regional hub in upper Assam that receives domestic flights from Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati. From the airport, a scenic drive of roughly forty-five minutes winds southward through the tea estates and river valleys that define this corner of northeastern India, the landscape gradually shifting from cultivated gardens to the wilder terrain surrounding the club's grounds near the Brahmaputra River. For those seeking absolute discretion and seamless arrival, helicopter services from Guwahati or private charters into smaller regional strips offer an alternative passage through Assam's misty hills. The final approach to Margherita Golf Club carries you into a landscape of profound quietude - where the roar of the modern world recedes and only the sound of birdsong and rustling palms announces your arrival at one of India's most exclusive and least-known golfing sanctuaries.
