GOLF TOUR

Myanmar has about 100 golf courses, whereof about 25 of international standard. We have chosen to introduce the courses we include in our Golf Tour program.

Myanmar once was a British colony. During British era golf was adopted as an official sport for British Officials and those who worked their administration.
Today it is like in other countries a common sport for the enthusiasts.

The Golf sport became very popular from its introduction after the British annexation of Burma. Because of this there are from this time excellent golf courses in Myanmar, mostly in or near all the major cities. It has become a legend now; even that Thayet Golf Course was a golf course very much similar to St. Andrew Golf Course in Scotland. The landscape is almost identical. Just to give you an idea of the golf history of former British Burma.

The main tourist spots in Myanmar are Yangon, Bago, Bagan, Mandalay, Inlay, Myitkyina, Pyin Oo Lwin, Rakhine Myo Haung and Ngapali. All these locations have nice good standard golf courses.

In Myanmar there are three seasons: Summer, Raining season and winter. Summer starts from end of February to mid of May. Raining season starts from mid May to end September. Winter season starts from mid September to end February. The Golf season starts from the month of October to May. In winter the weather are quite chilly and the intensity of heat is low.
