Taiwan

Golf in Taiwan traces its roots to 1918, when Japanese colonists established Taiwan Golf & Country Club, the island's oldest course on the Danshui River estuary. International recognition came when Liang Huan Lu finished runner-up at the 1971 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, trailing Lee Trevino by one stroke. Today, over 70 courses showcase diverse architectural styles from championship designers.
