Planning a golf trip in Asia is a bit of a rabbit hole. There are hundreds of courses, but only a handful are actually worth the travel time. At GolfLux, we’ve put together a list of the best spots to play golf in Asia, covering Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, and the U.E.A.
Every country on this list feels different under your spikes. Vietnam has some of the most dramatic, rugged coastal layouts I’ve seen lately, while Thailand is all about that classic tropical, high-service experience. If you’re in Singapore, you’re playing on some of the most manicured turf in the world, which is a sharp contrast to the more laid-back, quiet atmosphere you’ll find at the newer courses in Laos or the historic tracks in Cambodia.
We focused on Golf Courses in Asia that offer more than just a nice view. These are places where the architecture is smart, the bunkers are punishing, and the greens actually roll true. Whether you’re a scratch golfer looking for a challenge or just someone who wants a high-end vacation with a few rounds included, these destinations are the ones that actually deliver.
