Yay Dagon Taung Golf Club
Yay Dagon Taung Golf Resort (the waterfall course) is a 27 hole facility established in 1996. The design is not complicated. The primary challenge is long and narrow fairways which play to fast greens. However, the site is reasonably flat, offering an enjoyable experience for players of all abilities. Hole routing is through wooded terrain, with the Shan Mountain Ranges visible on every hole. The surrounding mountains are dotted with temples and pagodas, providing a serene backdrop for golfers to enjoy. Towards the end of the year when the weather is mild, the trees have vibrant colors, which makes the views even more spectacular.
Facilities are not the reason golfers play Yay Dagon; it's the scenery and convenient location. Nevertheless, a day out at Waterfall Mountain will be a pleasant Mandalay golf experience.
