Pakistan Golf Federation was mandated to promote and develop the game of Golf in Pakistan.To coordinate and manage the affairs of all the golfers of Pakistan belonging to and registered with the member Organizations and Golf Clubs, which would include male as well as female players of both amateur as well as professional status.

Golf is the only game in which Pakistan literally started from scratch. The game was introduced and patronized in the Sub-Continent by the British. After partition a big void was created and the game might have been extinct in Pakistan had it not had been for a few die-hards golfers who made enormous effort to keep the game alive. Foremost among them were Mr. Tajuddin Saimi of Pakistan Western Railways Club, Lahore; Mr. Rashid D. Habib of Karachi Golf Club; and Maj. Mohsin Ali in then East Pakistan. Until 1958 Lahore with its two golf clubs, the Lahore Gymkhana and the Pakistan Western Railways Club, and the Tea Estate Golf Clubs in East Pakistan were the main centers of golfing activities. The absence of Pakistan at the establishment of the World Amateur Golf Council in May 1958, and the making of preparations for the First World Amateur Team Championship to be held at St. Andrews led to the need of a central golf organization in Pakistan.
