Dear Golf Travelers,
Welcome to October and up-to-date edition of the Asian Golf Nation, the source for news breaking information about golf and golf travel in Asia. Also, unique golf playing tips for SE Asia’s tropical environment, announcements of special tours, updates on boutique golf tournaments for amateur golfers, and some interesting golf traveler feedback are all integral to today’s newsletter.
Can you believe there are only three months left in 2018? The year is flying by. Autumn is a time of celebrations and the start of the Asian golf travel season. Across Europe and North America, the days are getting shorter, and the temperatures are (or will) starting to drop. Each year like clockwork with the first cold spell comes the planning of fall and winter golf holidays to warmer climates such as can be found across South East Asia from November to March – the best golf travel season.
Hua Hin, Thailand is still our most popular golf holiday destination with Danang, Vietnam growing fast in popularity. Ian and I have just returned from a new golf course of Vietnam inspection trip. We visited 17 courses in 14 days. Most impressive were the BRG King’s Island Golf Resort Kings Course, FLC Ha Long Golf Club, and KN Cam Ranh Golf Links. All are ready for play and would be excellent to include in any Vietnam golf package this coming season.
For those who live here in Asia, low season pricing is still in effect for another month. If you are thinking about a short golf break, now would be the time to travel to beat the crowds and take advantage of low green fees and excellent resort prices. Take a look at our special golf deals.
As usual, there are lots of 'happenings' around the region so with that; I invite you to enjoy this edition of the Asian Golf Nation, learn about what's new in golf travel from around the region. While some say that Asia's incredible golf courses are the main attractions, its really the rich cultural experiences and very friendly locals encountered along the way that often leaves the fondest impressions. Just consider the caddie experience, and you will know what I mean.
Anyway, thanks to you, Golfasian remains Asia's top golf operator providing services centered around authentic golf experiences and great value. Your recognition of our quick responsiveness, impeccable attention to detail and tailor-made personalized service is what sets us apart.
