Dansavanh

The Dansavanh Nam Ngum Resort is situated at Nam Ngum Lake, better known as the "Lake Geneva of Asia", which is one of Asia’s largest lakes. The initial phase of this “mega eco-tourism resort” is now open. We’re not exactly sure what that means but Dansavanh features a casino, restaurant, hotel and many other facilities.

The Dansavanh Nam Ngum course is billed as the most picturesque course in Laos and it’s hard to disagree, especially are there are only a handful of other courses in the country. The 6,503-metre layout is routed round a series of lakes and streams with water coming into play on no fewer than ten holes.

The first purpose built course in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic offers caddying facilities and a challenging test. We’d love to know more about the course, so if you have any interesting snippets of information, we’d love to hear from you.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

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.
