Here is where you will be playing
Yangon City Golf Resort, affectionately known as YCDC Golf Club, offers a truly exceptional golfing experience for all levels of play. We are proud to present two distinct eighteen-hole courses, each with its own unique charm and challenge. The first, the Ngwe Thaw Tar, or "Silver" course, opened its fairways to golfers in 1994. Measuring a substantial 7000 yards from the championship tees, it provides a generous canvas for your game. Two years later, in 1996, our second gem, the Myakantha course, made its debut. Designed by the esteemed Kyi Hla Han, a prominent figure as the Asian Golf Tour executive chairman, this course is located just a pleasant 40-minute drive north of the bustling Yangon City, offering a serene escape for your golfing endeavors.
The beauty of Yangon City Golf Resort lies in the delightful contrast between our two championship layouts. The Silver course, situated on a gentle, flat plain, welcomes golfers with its forgivingly broad fairways and consistently flat greens. This design makes it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a relaxed round and appreciate a course that is forgiving for the average golfer. In stark contrast, the Myakantha course presents a more demanding test. Its tighter fairways and mature, overhanging trees require a more strategic approach and a greater degree of precision from your shots. This thoughtful design ensures that even experienced players will find a captivating challenge, making each round a memorable occasion.
Our commitment to excellence is evident in the immaculate condition of our fairways and greens, a standard that has earned Yangon City Golf Resort the honor of hosting the Asian PGA Tour in 1998 and 1999. This prestigious history, coupled with our dual course offering, solidifies our position as one of the finest golfing destinations in Yangon, and indeed, a must-visit when planning your next golf holiday in Myanmar. We warmly invite you to discover the unparalleled beauty and rewarding play that awaits you at YCDC Golf Club. Come and create lasting memories on our meticulously maintained greens.
Located just 12 kilometers west of Yangon, Pun Hlaing Golf Club is a premier golfing destination designed by the legendary Gary Player.

The course has hosted significant tournaments, including the Myanmar Masters Tour and the Myanmar Open, showcasing its competitive pedigree.
Spanning 7,012 yards, the course is thoughtfully crafted on former paddy fields at the confluence of three rivers: the Hlaing, Pun Hlaing, and Yangon. This unique setting provides not only a challenging round of golf but also stunning views of the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda and the Yangon skyline. While many fairways are framed by water hazards, the generous width of the fairways allows players of all skill levels to navigate the course with confidence.
Players can expect well-maintained greens and fairways that ensure excellent playing conditions year-round. The clubhouse features top-tier amenities, including a restaurant and bar that overlook the 18th green, offering a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a varied menu of Asian and Western cuisine. After a round, golfers can also indulge in specialized treatments at the on-site spa, making Pun Hlaing Golf Club an ideal destination for both play and relaxation.
