Between the 11th and 13th centuries, the ancient city of Bagan, former capital of the Pagan Kingdom, boasted more than ten thousand Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries. Around two thousand of these religious buildings still stand nowadays and they attract an ever-growing number of visitors to gaze upon their splendor.
To accommodate the influx of tourists, many hotels have sprung up in and around the city and one of these, the Amazing Bagan Resort, is conveniently situated close to the Bagan Nyaung Oo airport. Even more amazing than the hotel’s location is that there’s an 18-hole golf course attached to it for the use of residents and other guests.

As a consequence, golfers who keep the ball out of the scrub that lines every hole should be able to card a decent score.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
