Bahria Golf City is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course located in Islamabad, Pakistan, situated approximately 15 minutes from the Diplomatic Enclave. The course was designed by noted golf course architect Thomas J. Brown and meets United States Golf Association (USGA) standards. It is a night-lit facility set within a landscape that includes the Korang River and surrounding hills, offering views of the mountains and the golf course itself from nearby residential areas. The layout is characterized by classical design elements with broad fairways that gently undulate toward the greens. The terrain features steep greenside bunkers, contoured greens, and significant water hazards, including streams and lakes that cross or flank many holes. The course is described as versatile, challenging players who pursue more adventurous lines, with specific holes featuring island greens, uphill and downhill plays, and tight fairways lined with thick trees. Notable holes include the 18th, a 440-yard uphill par 4 that serves as the finishing challenge, and the 17th, the course’s longest hole at 541 yards, which is an uphill dogleg right. The 16th is a short but difficult 176-yard par 3 featuring a stream in front of a small green. The 5th hole is a 169-yard par 3 with an island green surrounded on three sides by water, backed by a waterfall. Other significant challenges include the 14th, a 433-yard par 4 with a stream on the entire left side and an elongated green, and the 13th, a 235-yard downhill par 3 playing across a stream with heavily bunkered surrounds. The course is part of the Sheraton Golf and Country Club within the Bahria Golf City development, which also includes luxury villas, apartments, and a five-star hotel.
