Ascension Island golf course in the south Atlantic is as remote and difficult to get to as I've golfed at.

Golfklúbbur Akureyrar - Akureyri Gold Club - Akureyri, Iceland, just 66 miles South of the Arctic Circle bills itself as the northern most 18 hole golf club on the planet and is home to the Arctic Open, played in late June around the Solstice and is truly open to all comers.

Carne on western edge of Ireland is rather remote. A natural links with a new 3rd nine that should be spectacular once fully mature.

I have played the Rock on Drummond Island three times and enjoyed it very much and will look forward to playing it again this summer under the new ownership to see the improvements. The course is very pretty carved out of natural terrain and lots of fun taking the ferry out to the island. You need to get there for the early departure to make sure you get a spot on the ferry as it does get busy.

Playa Grande in Dominican is also pretty remote.

Remote is exactly what Lajitas is. Perfect! The course is fun, beautiful in its own way, in great shape (Jan '16), and challenging. You can hit a ball across the Rio Grande into Mexico from one of the tee boxes ( not necessarily recommended by the course but who can resist - and don't try to go find it!) The restaurant at the resort is first class, excellent menu; bar more casual but fairly empty when I was there. Came in right after mountain bike week - which had every room, RV site, & tent camp site occupied for miles around so I imagine it was packed then.
Great little camp store across the road with breakfasts, deli & staples (even organics!)
You are also only a few miles away from Big Bend National Park, Big Bend State Park & the little infamous town of Terlingua- great music & a real eccentric's paradise! Again...remote - you only come here if you want to, you don't just happen into this place.

Played Sea Ranch back in 2001. Great track. Finishing holes were terrific. Would love to go back.

Jade Dragon - Snow Mountain in the foothills of the Himalayas in China. At 10,000 ft and longest golf course in the world. Spectacular.

Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort in Siem Reip, Cambodia. This is a fine golf course associated with an excellent hotel. It was the site of the Cambodian Open, when that existed. The most fun thing about the course and the soft-spoken female Cambodian caddies, all dressed head to toe in white uniforms to keep the sun away. They may be cute and demure, but after a couple of holes to see you play, they are giving you good course advice and the right club in little more than a whisper. The course was wet the day I played, but it was a good layout in good condition.
