Malaysia is the next emerging golfing country. Tourists who visit Malaysia for golfing will find that Malaysia is a golfers paradise. As I am a golfer myself,and has been golfing for the past 20 years. Malaysia is a country which offer world class golf courses at very affordable price. Furthermore, the currency Ringgit is quite low valued,compare to other currencies.So it is price worthy for tourist to golf in Malaysia. Many golf courses also offer night golfing.
My home club is in Tranås Sweden. Where I stay and work. In Malaysia I am at Tuanku Jaafar golf & country Resort.

Malaysia´s golf courses are mostly frequent by our Asian neighbors. Singaporeans topped the list of foreign golfers in Malaysia, followed by Japanese, South Korean and Chinese. I guess it's just because the price is very competetive comparing to other destinations.
Currently India and China are the emerging markets, economy is booming in this part of the world. So people can afford to travel and take up golfing.
