The Royal Palm Golf & Country Club (Royal Palm) is located on the site of the former Pakistan Railways Golf Club which was founded in 1927. Today completely remodelled and landscaped, the Royal Palm bears little resemblance to its past. Widely regarded as one of the subcontinent's best golf courses, the Club itself has set a new benchmark for others in the region to attempt to emulate both in concept and execution. The Pakistan Railways leased this property in September 2001 to the consortium now named Mainland Husnain Pakistan Limited (MHPL).
