On September 5, 1965, the club received the designation ‘Royal’ (patronage) by King Mahendra, the son of Tribhuvan, and the club was named “The Royal Nepal Golf Club (RNGC)” and Prince Basundra became the second president of the club. The founder members of the RNGC were the then S.P. Khadgajeet Baral , the then tennis champion Hem Lama, etc. The members were mostly foreigners and members of the Shah and Rana families. When the airport was expanded again in 1982, the golf course was remodeled
