Laos

Laos, the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia, has a thickly forested and mountainous landscape with its tropical climate characterized by monsoon and dry seasons. Almost a quarter of the country’s land has been set aside as conservation areas which may be developed in the future into National Parks. One of the best of the 18-hole layouts is billed as the most picturesque golf course in Laos and the 6,503-metre course is located at the Dansavanh Nam Ngum Resort, which is perhaps more famous for its casino. Long Thanh-Vientiane Golf Club promises to raise the golfing bar in Laos with 18 holes open for play and a further 18 in construction.
