Thailand Golf in Thailand is an ultimate leisure pursuit in Asia. The Thai culture embraces service and hospitality to make every visit both memorable and fun. Thailand Golf courses such as Blue Canyon in Phuket, Black Mountain in Hua Hin, Siam Country Club in Pattaya and Chiang Mai Highlands are well able to compete against the very best courses internationally. Considering the very high quality of the golf courses and resorts, green fees remain below many competing destinations, making Thailand tough to beat when it comes to value for money golf holidays not just in Asia, but around the world. Golfer friendly hotels and resorts in Thailand offer high quality service, variety and value, with superb locations ideal for beaches, shopping, culture and nightlife.

With so much diversity in one golf destination, all you have to do is choose! Situated close to the Equator, Malaysia offers amazing golf experiences for you throughout the year: Up in the highlands, down by sun-drenched beaches, surrounded by tropical rainforests or simply 'downtown' in and around the major cities. The après-golf is just as memorable with sophisticated living and exquisite food all served up amongst a cultural diversity that lies at the heart of this multi-national country. With over 200 golf courses, you will never have to travel far to find a wonderful new golf experience.

In 2007 Vietnam was named as the "Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year" by the International Association of Golf Travel Operators (IAGTO). With its fascinating history, ancient culture, superb climate, and now its fantastic championship golf courses. Vietnam is the 'next Thailand' when it comes to golf tours in the Far East. Vietnam is lucky in so far as it possesses tropical year round golf weather, an expansive coastal shore, and temperate central and northern regions. Thus, Vietnam's golf courses offer almost every environment for the serious golfer including year round playing conditions.

The past decade has seen a flourishing tourist industry with some three million visitors per year enjoying a full range of cultural and luxury travel experiences. And golf is proving to be an increasingly important part of that package. Siem Reap, the home of Angkor Wat, is the golfing centre of Cambodia. And with the magnificent temples of Angkor in close proximity, Cambodia is proving to be a 'must visit' golfing destination.

Hawaii (Oahu) The Koolau mountains tower in your sightline. Palm trees line the green. The white of your golf ball pops against the deep blue sky. Even a bad game of golf on Oahu is still pretty darn good. With more golf courses than any other island, golfers of every skill level from around the world head to Oahu.

www.golfmaxholidays.com.au

Spectacular scenery awaits you no matter which course you choose. You may also want to make a few adjustments to your game in the islands. Most notably, Hawaii’s trade winds can exaggerate mistakes in your swing on a windy day. Luckily, most Oahu courses have wide, forgiving fairways. Bermuda greens can also be harder to read than traditional bentgrass greens. All these factors help make for some fun and challenging rounds on the golfer’s heaven of Oahu.
