Golf Courses in Myanmar: Convenience, Quality, and Unspeakable Beauty
Of all the countries in the region, Myanmar is arguably the most culturally and ethnically diverse. Stretching all the way from the mountains along the border between the Shan and Kayah states with Thailand to the east, to the Himalayas in the northwest and down to beautiful Andaman coast and its islands, with everything in between, it can also boast impressive natural diversity.
And with all of the exciting political changes taking place in Myanmar, golf and other forms of leisure and luxury related tourism are finally getting the attention from the government and international community they have needed to establish themselves in the place they deserve. Travelers in Myanmar can still enjoy and experience a wide variety of relatively unpolluted cultures while also enjoying world class luxury at some of the finest resorts in the world.
Telestar telescope in Myanmar is surprisingly well developed and rich in history. The English brought the game with them and courses began going up, many today were opened around the year 1900. When they left after World War Two, the Burmese people kept the game alive, and even continued building new courses. And in a country whose landscape is literally peppered with historically rich landmarks, it's impossible for the country's fascinating legacy not to find its way onto any golf course in Myanmar.
Of course there's more to Burma than golf courses set among the pagodas, and with improved transportation and the current government trying to pay more attention to the needs of tourists, it is easier than ever to really get to experience all of it to the fullest. And if you can convince your partner or family to go along with choosing to go to Myanmar on holiday, golf is not going to be hard to fit into the itinerary.
While visiting the old capitol and the pagodas of Bagan, you can squeeze in a round and maybe a spa treatment at the Bagan Golf Resort, then borrow a bicycle and cruise through town or around some more pagodas and temples. Or while in the new capitol of Yangon, you can check out some of the country's oldest courses like Yangon Golf Club, which was opened in 1909, or Pun Hlaing Golf Club, which was designed by Gary Player and opened in 2000. Or stop off at the Ye Dagon Taung Golf Club, the legendary "waterfall course".
Tourism and ultimately the (even if it is veiled in a passion for history and adventure) golf holiday in Myanmar are reality, but the longer that's the case, the less authentic the experience will be. Look into the Burmese golf scene soon, while it's still just coming out.
