155 | 71 | 2018-09-01 04:50:33 | Mongolia | <p>The Republic of Mongolia is a landlocked East Asian country, once the centre of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. Mongolia was later ruled by China before independence was found with Soviet help in the 1920s. You’ll feel like you have stepped back a century in time with Genghis Khan because Mongolia is throwback to bygone days when life was much, much simpler. </p><p>Naturally, golf has yet to find its niche here in Mongolia, although there is a 9-hole golf course at Genghis Khan Country Club in the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park and in 2013 Mt. Bogd Golf Club</a> at the Sky Ski Resort opened, Mongolia's first 18-holer. However, according to Andre Tolme, Mongolia is one enormous golf course. Between May 2003 and July 2004 Andre became the first person to hit a golf ball across Mongolia’s 1,200+ miles. Mad? We’ll let you decide.</p> |

159 | 73 | 2018-09-01 04:50:50 | Nepal | <p>Nepal is the roof of the world and the backbone of the Himalayas, a place of breathtaking scenic splendour, hiking and ancient temples. It’s a mystical and dreamy country that draws people back year after year. Perhaps it’s the crisp clean air, dramatic mountains or the spirituality of Nepal? Regardless, Nepal is one of the world’s most uplifting and most special places on earth. So should you pack your golf shoes as well as your walking boots? </p><p>A few years ago, the answer to that question might possibly have been no, even though golf in Nepal dates back to 1917, after senior Nepalese dignitaries returned from Scotland with some golf clubs in tow. In 1999 a new resort near Kathmandu opened and for this reason alone you should definitely pack your clubs. </p><p>The course at the Gokarna Forest Golf Resort</a> was fashioned by the illustrious David McLay Kidd, designer of the magnificent Bandon Dunes. Gorkarna Forest is perhaps the finest 18-hole golf course in South Asia but the Himalayan Golf Club in Pokhara is perhaps Asia’s finest 9-holer and home to one of Asia’s best and most dramatic par fives.</p> |

160 | 74 | 2018-09-01 04:50:59 | North Korea | <p>North Korea is relatively untouched in terms of tourism, which is unusual for a country that has so much to offer. With a troubled past and an uncertain future, North Korea is not likely to become a tourist hot-spot in the near future. The North Korean authoritarian government in the 1950s prohibited religion but if you do manage to obtain a visitor’s permit, Paekdu is a sight that is hard to miss. It’s the North Korea’s highest mountain, it is in fact an extinct volcano with a vast central crater and it’s of deep mythical importance. </p><p>Naturally golf is not the most popular sport in North Korea, but the country does have one notable course. Pyongyang Golf Course</a> is where the first North Korean Open was held a few years ago and it was a decade or so ago that the nation's reclusive leader Kim Jong II is said to have shot a 38-under-par round of 34 in his one and only round of golf which included five holes-in-one.
