In the region's most prestigious poll of golfing facilities, The Empire Hotel & Country Club - venue to the Asian tour Brunei Open and Aberdeen Brunei Senior Masters - had the distinction of finishing first as the Best Golf Resort in Asia Pacific category.

The Country Club hosted an afternoon tea reception with their members to celebrate the achievement at Members Grill yesterday. Present during the event was the Board of Directors and the management of the hotel.

The awards were voted by readers of Asian Golf monthly, with over 30,000 votes being cast on-line at www.asiangolfdaily.com and www.asiangolfmonthlyl.com.
