Bagan Golf Club - Myanmar
Bagan is a truly amazing place and everyone should visited at least once in a lifetime. In an area no larger than Hong Kong, you will find up to 3,000 ancient pagodas - built between 9-11AD - dotted about the terrain in random order. It just so happens that the Bagan Golf Club is routed to take advantage of 14 such monuments with much more framing the golf course in the distance. It is like playing golf back in ancient time.
