The Golf Club, a popular golf show featured on ESPN STAR Sports, was recently in Brunei to film The Empire Hotel & Country Club and its luxurious floodlit 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course.

The Golf Club provides golfers with a concise update on the latest golf news, interviews with the world's top players and features some of the best golf courses from around the globe.

With a reach of 56.2 million viewers throughout Asia, the show is broadcasted in English, Mandarin and Korean on Star Asia, Star SE Asia, Star Taiwan, Star India and MBC-ESPN Korea.

During their time in Brunei, The Golf Club managed to capture excellent footage of golf, as well as hold interviews with a few high profile golfers at The Empire Country Club.

Andrew LaBrooy, Head Golf Professional and Colin Coles, Golf Course Superintendent brought the group around the golf course, providing them with extensive information on the course. Although they had a tight schedule, they also managed to enjoy a City Tour hosted by Freme Travel.

Many tourists travel around the world looking for new challenges on the golf course and The Empire Hotel and Country Club has identified the importance of this market to the Hotel.

The Empire Country Club's golf course has been one of the main focuses of most travelling media and the hotel has also hosted exclusive media golf trips to further promote the destination to golfers internationally.

At the same time, The Empire Hotel and Country Club also advertise golf at The Empire Hotel and Country Club in leading regional golf publications.

The golf course at The Empire Hotel & Country Club, Brunei, is no ordinary golf course. It is one of the very few in Asia that can boast of having seen the likes of former US president Bill Clinton, the world's royalty and heads-of-state teeing off.

The 18-hole floodlit championship course is also special for other reasons. For one, it was designed by one of the world's golfing greats - Jack Nicklaus. For another, it enjoys a breathtaking location, along a picturesque coast bordering the sparkling blue South China Sea.
