It’s December again and what year it’s been! Here at Golfasian we have been gearing up for an extremely busy festive period as borders open and tourists begin returning to SE Asia.
This month’s edition contains all the latest travel announcements and requirements plus all the usual insider information on travelling and playing golf in the region. Our destination of the month is Cambodia (a real favorite for golfers in the GA office) which has finally opened its borders, plus some terrific offers and tournament news.
So, Merry Christmas to all our loyal customers and golfers everywhere. We can’t wait to welcome you all back!

Golfers privileged to play at Alpine Golf & Sports Club will have an unforgettable experience. The clubhouse facilities, locker rooms, and two restaurants (a coffee shop and gourmet Chinese restaurant) are all excellent with service to match.
