If you're a golfer looking for a new destination to tee off, Macau may just be the perfect place to add to your golfing bucket list. With stunning views and top-notch facilities, Macau is quickly becoming a popular golfing destination in Asia. Here are some of the best places to play golf in Macau.

Caesars Golf Macau

Looking for a top-tier golf course with stunning views and exclusive amenities? Look no further than Caesars Golf Macau. Formerly known as the Orient Golf Club, Caesars Golf Macau is situated on the Cotai Strip, between the islands of Taipa and Coloane. The club was purchased by the Caesars Group in 2007, and since then, both the clubhouse and the course have been upgraded to provide a more exclusive touch.

The course design at Caesars Golf Macau is relatively flat, but the designer has managed to hold interest the whole way around thanks to its variety. The fairways and greens are first-class, with the Paspalum providing a perfect surface for golfers. Golf carts are available on the fairway, making it an ideal course for those who do not like to play during the summer. There is also a good blend of short and long holes. Apart from the course, the clubhouse has a wide range of amenities, including a restaurant, locker room, cafe, and balcony, all nicely decorated to provide an unforgettable experience.

Designed by renowned golf architects Nelson & Haworth, the 18-hole course winds through the hills and valleys of Coloane, offering stunning views of the South China Sea.
