The course at Luang Prabang Golf Club was hewn from a thickly forested landscape and it’s played in two distinct anti-clockwise loops that each return to the clubhouse...
The golf course at Luang Prabang Golf Club is situated in northern Laos, on the south bank of the mighty Mekong River, just outside Luang Prabang, where this ancient city – which is best known for its many Buddhist temples – was regarded as the nation’s royal capital up until 1975.
The course was hewn from a thickly forested landscape and it’s played in two distinct anti-clockwise loops that each return to the clubhouse, with no parallel fairways in operation. Playing corridors are relatively tight, sometimes only 35-40 yards wide, so keeping the ball in play is an absolute essential.
A few ponds feature on the front half at holes 3, 5 and 7 but golfers really need to be rather wayward for any of them to impede their progress. On the back nine, the routing touches the riverside at the par three 17th before swooping uphill towards the clubhouse and the home green.
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.
