Pashawar PAF Golf Club Pakistan
Well if ever there was an example of millionaire golf this was it….
I discovered this little gem whilst eating and drinking in the 5 star Pearl Continental Hotel (the one recently blown up by the Taliban). My friends refuse to go anywhere in the world I have previously been, as I have drank in the night club blown up in Bali nightclub bombing quite a few years ago and also in the bar in one of the Twin Towers before the tragic events of 9/11.
Unfortunately, I only had the budget to stay in a $2 a night place in Peshawar however, I did have the fabulous buffet breakfast at the Pearl Continental and given the hotel had one of only three bars in the country where westerners could frequent, it was an obvious place to hang out of an evening.
The Peshawar golf club is adjacent to the hotel and welcomes guests. The green fees are minimal and the course is immaculate, when I played, I pretty much had the course to myself. It is a military course (PAF) which I assume is Pakistan Air Force and there were no buggies or caddies as there are in most golf clubs in Pakistan. The 3 hours walking and carrying a bag was really pleasant but tough in the heat. A fabulous experience I would certainly repeat if the situation ever allows.
