Australia

From whacking a ball along an immaculate fairway on the sun-soaked Gold Coast to meeting the challenge of Melbourne's sand-belt courses, Australia provides an unmatched range of golfing opportunities.

All Australian major cities have access to superb golf facilities. Many of the green spaces that look like parks when you first glance at city maps are in fact golf courses.

Australia has more than 1,400 courses, nearly all of them open to visitors. Each year, more than 500,000 eager golfers grab their clubs and sample one or more. The country's best-known greens include Royal Pines and Sanctuary Cove in Queensland, Riverside Oaks and The Lakes in New South Wales, Huntingdale and Kingston Heath in Victoria and the Grange in South Australia.

Kingston Heath in Melbourne, designed by Dr Alister Mackenzie, is one of the world's top courses, while in Sydney, the undulating links of the Peter Thomson-designed Camden Lakeside course remind many players of St Andrews, Gleneagles or Muirfield.

Thailand

Apart from the scenic beaches, one of Thailand's primary attractions for the recreational tourist is golf. Due to a dramatic increase in the popularity of the sport in Thailand, a large number of world- class courses have sprung up, making Thailand one of Asia's premier golfing destinations. Although these courses are relatively new, and are therefore lacking some of the tradition of the world's best, they are nonetheless modern, challenging facilities, with breathtaking backdrops and a full range of services. Most of Thailand's courses also offer fine dining, luxury accommodation, fully equipped pro- shops with knowledgeable pros, carts, caddies, and rentals. Thai courses are known for their impeccable upkeep, and also offer luxurious dressing facilities that are often equipped with saunas and massage facilities. This broad range of services, along with the fact that many of Thailand's courses are in close proximity to some of the world's finest beach resorts, makes Thailand an ideal place to get away for a relaxing round of golf followed by a delicious meal on the beach. Additionally, the tropical climate makes for fantastic golfing weather all year round, and the greens fees are extremely reasonable by any standard. Many of the clubs are particular about exclusivity, however all-inclusive golfing packages are available to most clubs.

Thailand is ideal for golf, no matter what time of year. The country has three distinct seasons - cool (November - February), hot (March - June) and rainy (July - October), with temperatures soaring up to as much as 35 degrees Celsius or more in the hottest month of April.Golf is fine during the rainy season as it seldom rains for more than a couple of hours at a time, usually in the evening or night. In the north of Thailand, the cool season can be decidedly chilly - you might need a sweater, especially in highland areas - while in the rest of the country the cool season is still hot by Western standards, certainly over 20 degrees. The south tends to get rain throughout the year, usually in the afternoon or evening. Probably the best time to take to the links is in the early morning or late afternoon, when the sun is not quite so scorching.

Dubai

While many vacationers come to Dubai, more and more professionals are choosing to plan and attend conferences in this location, because of one main reason: the golf. The contrast of the dry, desert landscape is complimented beautifully by the well-manicured greens that flow through this gulf-side haven. Multiple opportunities exist for those who wish to take aim on Dubai soil. Rod Bogg, managing director of Dubai Golf says, "We have fabulous golfing facilities in Dubai. We have some of the best courses in the world and without doubt some of the best clubhouses."

Dubai is located on the Eastern Coast of the Arabian Peninsula; it has a sub tropical arid climate with infrequent and irregular rainfall (less than 13 centimetres a year). We have found that the best time to play golf is from mid September to mid May, during the summer the temperature can be as high as 44 degrees but the green fees drop in price during this period.

Dubai is a cosmopolitan city and has retained many cultural traditions established by fishermen, pearl divers and nomads. Experience the Arabian Desert, steel towers, shopping at old souks or modern shopping malls. Dubai is a shopper's paradise with everything from gold, electronics, spices and textiles; it's famous for offering top international brands at low prices. West from the city centre is the popular suburb of Jumeriah which is home to some of Dubai's most luxury hotels. Here you will find beautiful unspoilt stretches of beach and water sports complexes.

The biggest attraction for golfers is the selection of golf courses and the perfect playing conditions. Millions of pounds have been spent on these courses to ensure that all visiting golfers have a memorable experience.
