Luang Prabang golf courses

The great thing about playing golf abroad is it can take you to places you have never considered visiting and for many people, Luang Prabang falls into that category.

Luang Prabang is situated in northern Laos, a southeast Asian country which has borders with China, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, being landlocked by each of them.  Luang Prabang is the ancient capital, in the province which goes by the same name and it lies in a valley at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers.

The airport is just 5 kilometres to the northeast of the city and accepts flights from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Jinghong, Pakse, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur and Vientiane.  Therefore, Luang Prabang makes for a great multi-destination golf holiday and can be booked along with any of the places with connecting flights

You will never be short of things to do in Luang Prabang and the ancient city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.  It has managed to maintain its charm, despite becoming more and more popular with tourists and the temples, wildlife, waterfalls, caves, culture and surrounding mountains make Luang Prabang a fascinating place to visit.

Fortunately, there is also a great golf course in Luang Prabang, called Luang Prabang Golf Club.  Just 10 minutes away from the city centre, this is arguably one of the most spectacular golf courses in the world.  Boasting incredible mountain views against the backdrop of the Mekong River, you will struggle to find a better setting anywhere for a round of golf.
