For a long time, golf in Bhutan was a quiet pursuit, known mostly to a small group of enthusiasts. But in recent years, something refreshing has begun to take shape — a new generation of Bhutanese golfers picking up the clubs and rewriting the story.

Names like Nim Dorji Tamang, Tandin Wangyel, and Karma Choden are now becoming familiar in Bhutan’s golf circles. These young players represent more than talent — they represent possibility.

For them, golf isn’t just a weekend hobby; it’s a path of discipline, patience, and pride. Many started as caddies at the Royal Thimphu Golf Course or Dragpoi Golf Course, watching others play until they picked up a club themselves. With practice and support, they’ve grown into confident, capable players — carrying Bhutan’s colors into national and regional tournaments.

Behind every emerging player is a network of mentors and supporters — from senior golfers to federation officials — who believe that sports can shape character and opportunity.
The Bhutan Golf Federation, along with local clubs, has been working quietly to create more tournaments, coaching clinics, and youth outreach programs.

One of the coaches recently said,

“We may not have many facilities, but we have passion — and passion can take you far.”

The journey of these young golfers is just beginning. With players like Nim Dorji Tamang preparing to represent Bhutan at the Asian Pacific Amateur Golf Championship 2025, the spotlight is slowly turning toward Bhutan’s golf scene.

Every swing they take carries not just ambition, but pride — pride in representing a small nation with a big heart.

The future of Bhutan golf won’t be built overnight. It’ll take years of patience, guidance, and investment. But with the determination of young talents, the support of the golfing community, and the quiet beauty of the Himalayas as their backdrop — Bhutan’s fairways are ready for a new chapter.

One swing at a time, Bhutan’s youth are proving that the spirit of the game is alive and thriving — right here, in the heart of the mountains.
