Known more for its picturesque settings than sporting activity, the century-old nine-hole golfing glade at Naldehra will soon be upgraded into a golf course of international standard.

The state has been trying to have a full-fledged golfing field for the past more than a decade to take advantage of the increasing popularity of the sports to promote high- end tourism. Over the past two decades, several proposals were initiated but not pursued seriously.
