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. Since its opening in 2000, this 18-hole championship course has earned a reputation for its exceptional layout and scenic beauty, making it a must-play for golfers visiting Myanmar. 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.
Shwe Mann Taung Golf Resort offers a truly unique golfing experience, conveniently located just a scenic 15-minute drive from the vibrant heart of Mandalay. Perched on a gentle hill, the resort provides breathtaking panoramic views, including a glimpse of the historic Golden Palace grounds. Originally established during the British colonial era, Shwe Mann Taung holds the distinction of being the first of Myanmar's venerable courses to undergo a comprehensive renovation. Today, it proudly presents a modern parkland layout, meticulously maintained with state-of-the-art turf and an efficient irrigation system, ensuring a delightful round for every visitor seeking a blend of history and contemporary golfing pleasure.
While the Mandalay golf course measures a modest 6,564 yards from the championship tees, what it may lack in sheer distance, it more than compensates for with strategic challenges that will test golfers of all skill levels. Shorter hitters will find ample opportunities to score well, with many par-saving chances and even the occasional birdie within reach. For the more accomplished players, the par-5s can be attacked in two shots, opening the door for multiple birdies or even an eagle. However, it's crucial to approach each shot with careful consideration; the course plays tight, and without thoughtful strategy and precise club selection, a big score can easily materialize, making every decision on the course all the more rewarding when executed correctly.
The distinct character of Shwe Mann Taung truly shines through in its two nines, each offering a different golfing personality. The front nine, revitalized in 2014, features the established charm of Bermuda grass, while the back nine, comprehensively renovated in 2017, showcases the latest in turf technology with Zoysia on the fairways and ultra-dwarf Bermuda adorning the greens. This thoughtful blend of different grasses contributes to a special and memorable golfing journey. For those seeking an unforgettable round with a touch of local charm and stunning vistas, combined with a course that rewards thoughtful play rather than brute force, Shwe Mann Taung Golf Resort is an exceptional choice for your next golfing adventure.
Myotha National Golf Club in Myanmar is an extraordinary golfing destination, offering an experience unlike any other in Southeast Asia. Sprawling across a vast 688-hectare expanse, our 18 holes present a truly remarkable layout that stands as the finest in Myanmar, by a significant margin. We are proud to hold ourselves to the highest standards, rivaling the top courses across the region, and are confident that our championship standard will even attract professional Asian Tour events. While it plays a formidable 8,000 yards from the championship tees, a challenging test for even the most seasoned golfers, we also offer a more accessible experience from the forward tees, making it a rare course that truly plays easier for those with shorter swings.
Nestled within an emerging industrial zone, just 50 kilometers south of Mandalay, Myotha National Golf Club has been sculpted into a natural landscape of dramatic cliffs, canyons, and impressive 40-meter elevation changes. You'll find two deep and captivating arroyos winding through the course, with many holes intricately designed around these stunning natural features. The environment here is remarkably unique for Asia, characterized by year-round dry conditions, robust desert flora, and exposed surface rocks, creating a landscape more reminiscent of the American Southwest than a tropical jungle. This distinct terrain, coupled with our wide Zoysia Zeon fairways and meticulously undulating Champion Bermuda greens, ensures a truly memorable round for every golfer.
At Myotha National Golf Club, we believe in offering a diverse and engaging golf experience. Many of our greens are thoughtfully designed to be level with the fairways, featuring "salad bowl" surrounds that encourage strategic bump-and-run shots over purely target-focused play. The generally dry conditions promote firm and fast playing surfaces, providing ample roll-out for your shots, and players familiar with links-style golf will feel right at home. For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, our standout holes, like the S-shaped par-5 3rd, the dramatic dogleg left 4th, and the par-3 5th with its charming waterfall, offer unique challenges and photo opportunities. Even our closing holes, the 'cross green' 17th and the challenging par-4 18th, are designed to test your nerve and precision, ensuring a grand finale to your round.
