This course I simply the most challenging and best laid out course in the Bangkok area and is a must pay course. See if you can follow in Tigers footsteps and remember he eagled the 555 yard par 5 7th on his way to winning the tour event.

A very interesting course as the course has so many different holes. The designer Dr Sukitt Klangvisai has done very well to give the modern golfer a bit of variety. The course has plenty of water and even though the course is near the city it has a very links golf feel to it. All the facilities are available as you would expect from a course that was only opened in 2006 and for a young course it is maturing very well.

Riverdale Golf Club
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,006, Par:72
On first glance this course looks quite inviting but it does have a nasty underbelly if you’re not quite on your game. Once the one course trees grow and matures then the oks will also match the test you will get when playing. We have found that the course is more enjoyable if you play it back to front especially as on holes 7, 8 and 9 as these holes take no prisoners.

So make sure you choose the correct courses for you.
Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club
Holes: 27, Yardage: 6,813 / 3,261, Par:72 / 36
Consisting of 3 contrasting nines this Dennis Griffith’s designed course located a short distance from Pattaya’s main beaches is a good inclusion in to any Thai golf break. Each course has its plus points but the mountain course does offer the best views of the area. Funnily enough the Ocean course is not near the ocean but the lakes course has water coming in to play on most of the holes.

Khao Kheow Country Club
Holes: 27, Yardage: 7,077, Par:72 / 36
This course has something for all and is a good test due to the course receiving strong sea breezes. This Peter Dye course also plays quite long as the course also has lots of elevation changes. There is a nice balance of holes and the undulating greens will reward the good and punish the impatient putter.

St. Andrews 2000 Golf Club
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,777, Par:74
This is one of Thailand’s most interesting courses, not only due to the fact that the course boasts two par 6’s. But also because down to its namesake has tried to replicate the Scottish links course of St. Andrews. Designed by English architect Desmond Muirhead this course pays pretty hard and the advice is to bring a long a few extra balls for your round.

Laem Chabang International Country Club
Holes: 27, Yardage: 7,065, Par:72 / 36
This is a must play course when visiting Pattaya and this Jack Nicklaus course is considered one of Thailand’s best. Not only is the course extremely well kept but the layout of the holes of how they intertwine with the natural contours, lakes and foliage. It is well worth extending your day a little longer and playing each 3 nines; the mountain, lake or valley course. Again this course is located in between Pattaya and Bangkok so can be included in 2 different destination golfing trips.

Wangjuntr Golf & Nature Park
Holes: 36, Yardage: 7,713 / 7,641, Par:72
This is another course which is located south of Pattaya in the hills surrounding Rayong. It is well worth the journey if you are looking for a change of scenery and to play golf amongst pineapple and cassava plantations. The complex has two contrasting 18 hole layouts; the valley course and the highland course which is the longer and more challenging of the two. The area of Rayong is also a destination in itself with accommodation, restaurants and of course the Gulf of Thailand all nearby.

Pattavia Century Golf Club
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,111, Par:72
This course is located roughly half way between Pattaya and Bangkok so it could be included as an additional round on your arrival or departure day. Build in 1996 and then renamed, revamped and lengthened in 2014 this Robert McFarland course plays pretty well. This course is probably one of the best value for money and is another course that you can easily walk around if you’re feeling energetic.

Phuket
Most visitors to Phuket are generally drawn in by its beautiful beaches and it being an exotic Island getaway. If travelling to the area, make sure you have enough time to unwind on the beaches and explore the Island and of course play a few rounds along the way. The island itself has 10 exceptional courses with a couple of standouts notably the Canyon courses. The Blue course shot to fame after hosting the Jonnie Walker Classic and some think the Red Mountain course to be the most spectacular in the whole of Thailand – Which is quite a bold statement taking I to account the array of stunning course in the region. If it is golf, sun and sand that you want then this is the destination for you!
Blue Canyon Country Club – Canyon & Lakes Course
Holes: 36, Yardage: 7,179 / 6,789, Par:72 / 71
If in Phuket for long enough it is a must to play both of these course but if you have to select one then most will chose the Canyon Course. The reason is that this course not only hosted the 2007 Johnnie Walker classic but is also home to Tiger Woods 1998 Asian tour victory. Since then Tiger has returned to the course two more occasions again wining in 1998. The lakes course on the other hand which is also designed by Yoshikazu Kato is another great test of golf and should not be overlooked.

Mission Hills Phuket Golf Resort
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,015, Par:72
This picture postcard Jack Nicklaus designed course is a must if visiting Phuket. Feel like a pro and play some holes along the coast that overlooks the Andaman Sea. From pretty much everywhere on the course you are blessed with wonderful panoramic views of the sea and as you would expect with any of Jack’s courses that water comes in to play quite a lot. The whole golfing experience is all about service and food and drinks can be ordered out on the course, so if the round is not going too well then you know what to do!

Katathong Golf & Resort
Holes: 18, Yardage: 7,023, Par:72
Located in a valley in the province of Phang Na about an hour’s drive from Puket. This course has an interesting history as it was built on land that was left over from tin mining back in the 1900’s. The open mines and certain landscaping made the area perfect for a golf course. The course as has interesting layout and incorporates all the natural contours making it quite a challenging course to play.

Phuket Country Club

A fair course for fair players. Ok this is not the greatest statement to tempt you to play this course but it is fair and true. The course is actually Phuket’s oldest and most mature and well located in the middle of the beach resorts. So if you are new to golf then this would be the perfect place to start even though there are some challenging holes. The club also has a further 9 holes which are mostly reserved for its members.

Laguna Golf Phuket

The course is a wonderful test of golf and has even hosted the Thailand Open back in 2009.

Phunaka Golf Course & Academy
Holes: 9, Yardage: 2,163, Par:30
If you are a serious golfer then this is a course to give a miss however if you are looking for a bit of fun to fill a couple of hours then look no further. The course is even floodlit so you can play in the evening which is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There are lots of pars 3’s as you would expect and wayward shots are punished due to the long grass. There is also a driving range and a good restaurant to enjoy a couple of drinks before and after your round.

Loch Palm Golf Club
Holes: 18, Yardage: 6,555, Par:72
This is a lovely little course and extremely enjoyable to play and it has a very nice local club feel to it. Even though the course is not the longest you still have to plan your way round to make sure you walk off with a respectable score. As the name suggests there are plenty of palm trees on the course as well as a loch that features on the front nine so wayward shots will get wet.

Red Mountain Golf Club
Holes: 18, Yardage: 6,905, Par:72
A must play course when visiting Phuket. This course is interesting, undulating and has a wonderful lay out that meanders its way through water features and gradients. This course is another in the area that was built on an abandoned mine and it is probably Phuket’s hilliest course. It is also a great test of golf as you have to plot your way round and make good decisions of where you are going to land your ball. So very much a risk and reward course.

Tublamu Navy Course
Holes: 18, Yardage: 6,825, Par:72
This is another course for the beginner not because it is particularly easy but because it is a public municipal golf course. So if you are new to the game and you are still learning the correct course etiquette then you will not feel completely out of place on this course. So as long as you’re not slow and hold up the locals then this is a good course to break your 18 hole virginity.
