Yangon Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in Myanmar. The British established this club in 1909 by an unknown designer. However, the club has transited ages till today and is frequently updated to give golfers great experience.
To reach the club, you will take a 25 minutes drive to the North of Yangon town. The club is a not-for-profit organization. Because the club has suffered many problems in the course of time, such as flooding in the monsoon spell and cracking during the dry season, the holes are re-routed from one point to another. Currently, the course has been improved and well maintained for golfers to enjoy throughout the year.
The course is generally challenging but presents players with great fun. It has just several long tees that run over water, many bunkers, and hazards that are well placed. The course is a crowd pleaser because it hosts the Asian PGA Tour which is a favorite for locals and international visitors alike. There is peaceful natural ambiance in the natural beauty. In the year 2000, new sodding with japonica grass brought the course up to internationally accepted standards. The club staff and caddies are very professional and friendly in their approach in order to give golfers great experience. Yangon is a decent Myanmar golf course.
