Golf Tours to Asia 2027: The Best Championship Courses & Luxury Golf Resorts by Country

12 min read

Asia has quietly become one of the world's great golf destinations. From the coastal championship layouts of Vietnam and Thailand to the immaculate parkland courses of Japan and the jungle-and-ocean resorts of Malaysia and Indonesia, the continent offers a density of world-class golf — paired with five-star hospitality and remarkable value — that few regions can rival. At Olimpia Tour, we design luxury golf tours to Asia that string together the very best courses and resorts into one seamless, fully managed journey.

This guide is a course-and-resort tour of golfing Asia, country by country, for 2027. Where our companion every-country guide to golf tours in Asia maps the whole region, this article focuses on the standout championship courses and luxury resorts worth building a tour around.

Why Asia for a Luxury Golf Tour?

Three things set Asian golf apart. First, course quality: many of the region's layouts are modern, championship-standard designs by the world's leading architects, in spectacular coastal and mountain settings. Second, the resort experience: golf in Asia is built around destination resorts where the spa, dining and service match the golf. Third, value and warmth: the standard of hospitality per dollar is exceptional, and the climate suits year-round play.

Thailand — The Resort Golf Capital

Thailand is the natural entry point to Asian golf: a huge choice of championship resort courses around Bangkok, Hua Hin and Phuket, superb five-star hotels and legendary hospitality. It's ideal for groups who want great golf in the morning and world-class spa, dining and beaches in the afternoon.

Vietnam — Asia's Golf Hotspot

Vietnam has become one of the most talked-about golf destinations on earth, thanks to a wave of dramatic coastal courses around Da Nang and the buzzing scene near Ho Chi Minh City. Pair spectacular seaside golf with the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An and some of the best cuisine in Asia.

Malaysia — Jungle, Highlands & Islands

Malaysia offers extraordinary variety: cool highland courses, championship layouts around Kuala Lumpur and island golf off Borneo. It's a superb multi-centre option for groups who want their golf set against genuinely different landscapes.

Japan — Precision & Perfection

Japanese golf is a bucket-list experience: immaculately conditioned parkland and mountain courses, faultless service and a deep golfing culture. Combine it with cities, cuisine and hot springs for one of the most refined golf tours in the world.

Indonesia (Bali) — Golf Meets Wellness

Bali blends ocean-side resort golf with luxury villas, surf and wellness. It's the perfect choice for groups who want their golf wrapped in a five-star holiday atmosphere.

Sri Lanka — The Hidden Gem

Sri Lanka's historic highland and coastal courses are a genuine hidden gem, and the island doubles as an outstanding multi-sport base. Explore how it works as a wider destination in our Sri Lanka tour overview.

What's Included in an Olimpia Tour Golf Tour

Every golf tour we run is bespoke and fully managed end-to-end:

  • 3–5 championship courses, with all green fees, tee times, carts and caddies arranged.
  • Five-star resort accommodation, matched to your group's standards.
  • Private transfers throughout, with an experienced tour manager.
  • A tailored balance of golf, culture, dining and downtime.
  • Options for competitive formats, corporate golf days and non-golfing partner programmes.
  • Full concierge support — spa, fine dining, excursions and more.

We don't publish fixed prices because no two golf tours are alike. Group size, handicaps, course selection, dates and resort standard all shape the quote — so pricing is always on request and built around you.

Multi-Country Golf Journeys

One of the great advantages of Asia is how easily countries combine. A single tour can pair the resort golf of Thailand with the coastal drama of Vietnam, or Japan's precision with a Bali wellness finish. We handle every flight, transfer and tee time so the whole journey feels effortless. For corporate groups, a golf tour is also one of the most powerful team-building experiences available — see our thoughts on how international travel builds team cohesion.

Worldwide Reach, Local Expertise

Asia is one region in a truly global portfolio. Olimpia Tour designs elite sports and golf tours worldwide — across the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania — with the same fully managed, white-glove standard everywhere. Explore the full range on our destinations page.

How to Start Planning

The best Asian golf tours are planned 6–12 months ahead to secure premium tee times and resort availability, though we regularly build superb tours on shorter timelines. It starts with a conversation about your group, your handicaps and the courses on your wish list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best country in Asia for a golf tour?

It depends on your priorities. Thailand is the all-round resort-golf capital, Vietnam has the most dramatic new coastal courses, Japan offers the most refined experience, and Malaysia and Bali blend golf with spectacular scenery and wellness. We often combine two or three countries in one tour.

Can we combine several countries in one golf tour?

Yes. Multi-country golf journeys are one of Asia's great strengths, and we handle every flight, transfer and tee time so the whole trip feels seamless. A popular pairing is Thailand with Vietnam, or Japan with a Bali finish.

How much does a luxury golf tour to Asia cost?

Pricing is on request because every tour is bespoke. Group size, course selection, resort standard and dates all affect the quote. Tell us your wish list and we'll build a transparent, all-inclusive price.

Do you cater for mixed-ability groups and non-golfers?

Absolutely. We tailor formats to mixed handicaps and build parallel programmes — spa, culture, dining and excursions — for non-golfing partners, so everyone in the group has an exceptional trip.

When is the best time to golf in Asia?

Most of the region plays year-round, but the ideal window varies by country and monsoon season. We help you choose dates that deliver the best conditions for your chosen courses.
