Ranikhet Golf Course (Upat/Upat Golf Course)

Ranikhet Golf Course (also referred to in local listings as Upat or Uppat Golf Course) is a 9‑hole hill golf course located near the cantonment town and hill station of Ranikhet in Almora district, Kumaon region, Uttarakhand. Tourism materials describe the course as picturesque with undulating terrain and well‑textured grasses; one tourism source states it was built around 1920 and another promotes it as the 'highest golf course in Asia' (these specific claims appear in tourism literature and are not independently corroborated in the supplied sources). The course is situated within a military cantonment environment and is associated with local Army maintenance and the Ranikhet Golf Club. The supplied source material frames the site solely in recreational, historical, and touristic terms and does not report accidents, disputes, or supernatural occurrences tied to the golf course. Nearby cultural landmarks such as Kalika Temple are mentioned in regional guides, but the sources do not link any temple deity or local spiritual tradition to the golf course itself.
