The choice of new golfing destinations continues to expand around the world with new golf courses opening up regularly.

Chaka Travel has been privileged to sample many of the world's most exotic golf holiday destinations including Mauritius, South Africa, Thailand, Seychelles, Turkey, Malaysia and Dubai.

They have earned a reputation as a friendly, efficient and cost-effective operator and have been at the forefront of the development of golfing holidays to Mauritius.

Mauritius For best value for golfers, Chaka Travel recommends the Belle Mare Plage which offers free green fees on its two 18-hole championship courses, the Legend and the Links and also on the nine-hole Gary Player course at neighbouring St Geran hotel.

At Belle Mare Plage the Legend course offers a stern test, whilst not particularly long the course is tricky and has a lot of water! The Links course is more forgiving but again a really top quality layout.

Chaka Travel also provides reduced green fees at the Le Touessrok Golf Course, which is 15 minutes away. This is a stunning course on a small paradise island, a ten-minute boat transfer is required to play on this truly unique course.

Chaka Travel offers prices from £1,425 for a two-week five-star holiday at the Belle Mare Plage including flights from the UK, 12 nights half-board accommodation, private transfers, free water sports and activities and free golf on the resort’s two championship courses.

‘All-inclusive’ Open Golf Tournament in Turkey The Open Golf Tournament at the five-star Sueno golf resort is fantastic value at £995 per golfer sharing a double room (£1,095 per golfer single room). This all-inclusive tournament is held from February 1-8, 2009. The price includes return economy class flights with British Airways from Gatwick, including current taxes, return transfers, double/single room on an all inclusive basis (includes buggy bar on course), five tournament rounds, plus unlimited golf during your stay Sueno Golf Hotel is a fantastic five star resort that is designed purely for golfers.

Having stayed at the resort, we decided it was perfect for a tournament, as you can stay and play by just walking onto the courses. The resort has two excellent courses, the Dunes and the Pines.

Thailand Chaka Travel recently visited Thailand where it found the standard of the hotels has improved and the golf is better than ever.

With its great climate, fantastic scenery and top class hotels, Thailand is a golfing destination with unparalleled variety.

You can play a new course every day, with courses designed by the great players and golf architects such as Pete Dye, Peter Thomson, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
