Said to be the third-oldest golf club in the world, the Gymkhana Club, located on the outskirts of the city, serves as one of the best leisure spots. A popular venue for horse races and other enticing sports activities, it is a lush green 9-hole golf course circuit. It also houses lawn tennis grass courts, a swimming pool, and billiards boards. The cricket ground, known as 'Jorhat Gymkhana Ground' had the honour of hosting the CK Naidu Under-19 Indian Cricket tournament matches. Moreover, the club also includes a movie theatre, three beautiful teak panel bars with high ceilings, a 4,000-sq-ft auditorium that hosts scores of events for sports lovers and respite seekers. The Gymkhana Club was established in 1876 by D Slimmon, then secretary of the club in Seconidhara village.
