Designed by Americans Gary Panks and David Graham; Burapha Golf Club is laid out on hilly terrain. The East (A-B) Course features wide fairways and is perfect for the up & coming golfer. The West (C-D) Course is a challenge for more advanced and professional golfers. The golf courses are both well maintained, fairways and greens generally kept in tip top condition, and the holes are well placed. With lush, verdant Thai countryside and jungle-clad hills all around, Burapha is home to 36-holes of links and parkland style golf. The American (A) and British (B) nines are parkland in style. While the Crystal (C) and Dunes (D) nines are more open links style layouts.

The elevated tee-boxes give an excellent view onto the holes laid out below. Around the greens clinging semi-rough joins forces with good-quality bunkering to put a premium on hitting the assorted-sized greens. The four Burapha courses provide a picturesque and testing golfing outing in a pleasant, lightly tree-lined setting. The four nines at Burapha give the opportunity to look across the valley to the impressive clubhouse of Laem Chabang Golf Club, but on the Dunes nine the views gets more amazing than that. The golfer will be rewarded with an extraordinary panorama across the surrounding countryside. The Pattaya high rise condominiums, the Laem Chabang port, the ocean and large offshore islands are all in clear view. This open, undulating Dunes course is more challenging than its front-nine companion, the Crystal course. With a mix of lightly tree-lined and water protected holes, the Crystal nine provides a gentle lead-in to the more challenging and spectacularly scenic Dunes course. Pattaya golf travelers can enjoy their golf in a very tranquil and soft setting. The Burapha clubhouse serves good reasonably priced local and international food in the golfers’ restaurant.

With its many accolades and awards including “Best Value For Money Golf Course in Asia” and the “Number One Course in Thailand” since opening in 2005, Chiang Mai Highlands is a must play that offers no excuses for the distraction of breathtaking views on each hole. The course itself offers a choice of 5 different tee boxes, presenting a challenge for a player of any level that culminates in a thrilling dramatic finish at the unforgettable 18th. Negotiating the deep and severely penalising hundred or so fairway and greenside bunkers as well as various water hazards requires thought, yet the firm, fast undulating greens are more than receptive to a well struck approach. Mostly sloping away from the fairway, green complexes feature closely mown areas that offer up a variety of short game options to pitch, chip or even putt from off the green, the only limit being the golfer’s imagination. With excellent amenities, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf and Spa Resort bills itself as not only a golf destination, but a place of happiness for the entire family.

It has an amazing layout, nudging the mountains backing onto the Pranburi Dam. The last noteworthy hole is the Course B par-4 6th. After the drive off from the tee, the fairway is gently sloped from the left to right giving you great ball position. After the corner, enjoy one of the most beautiful looking shots at Majestic Creek. Finding the correct level on a 3 tiered green provides a chance for a birdie.Inaccurate approach shots will be swept into bunkers both right and left.

Palm Hills Golf Club is situated between Hua Hin and Cha Am, near the airport and on the lower foot hills above town. It was the first international standard Hua Hin golf course opened in 1992. The following year Palm Hills hosted the Inaugural Thailand World Pro Am tournament.

The golf course is laid out on a long strip of rolling terrain which gives the course a Scottish feel, differentiating itself from many courses in the area. The Max Wexler layout goes from east to west, with lakes at each end separated by the clubhouse and an interesting rocky outcrop extending from the mountain range.

Palm Hills Golf Club Cha am Thailand 1

The Palm Hills course is lined with palm trees and has plenty of hillside, hence the name Palm hills. Numerous brightly colored frangipani trees and bougainvillea shrubs add to the natural beauty. The last nine holes are situated on top of the mountains and provide majestic views of the Gulf of Thailand and Hua Hin. Palm Hills is one of the easier Hua Hin golf courses. The Bermuda fairways are wide making the course popular for a range of golfers with different abilities and experience. However, strategically placed bunkers and water hazards ensure that it is still difficult to achieve a good score. On top of that, the greens can be the steepest in the Hua Hin.

The 10th to 14th holes are the best holes on the golf course which demands a well-placed shot. The signature hole is the 11th hole, a long par three uphill into the sea breeze and demands at least a long drive. The 14th 338 yard par four is one of the most interesting holes on Palm Hills. It has a dog-leg left with water guarding the inside and some of the fairway. Selecting the right club for tee off is extremely crucial. Try negotiating the drive well so that the hole will be an easy par or birdie.

Pan Hills Golf Club is a professionally well maintained course in Hua Hin. The course is a great getaway from a city lifestyle. It has a stunning landscape and at certain times of the year, the course is covered in exotic fragrance from the frangipani trees.

Phoenix Gold Golf Course comprises three nines – Ocean, Lake and Mountain, and has superb views of the surrounding mountains and the Gulf of Thailand. Large mango, eucalyptus trees and flowering shrubs add color and give a natural feel to the layout.

Gently contoured fairways, shallow bunkers and sloping greens characterize this palm tree lined parkland course. Tee-boxes are defined by planted hedges.

Phoenix Gold Golf  Country Club Pattaya 1

The name Ocean Course may seem like a contradiction as you may be wondering why there is no water on any of the nine holes. However, wait until the finishing hole on the Ocean Course. The tee box for this par-5 sits at the highest point on the course and affords a commanding view of the Gulf of Thailand and Pattaya skyline. The tee shot is straight down a sloping fairway followed by a 2nd shot aimed toward the Gulf of Thailand. Large sand bunkers lining along both sides of the fairway come into play on the 3rd shot into the green. The bunker in the front left of the green should be avoided for it is difficult to get up and down for par from there. The center of the green is preferred for an easy par, or even birdie!

In terms of the beauty of the course, the top honors go to arguably the best nine, the Mountain Course. A very attractive collection of folding, jungle-clad hills is always in view. The rocky frontage of one mountain is decorated with a massive, laser-carved image of Buddha, the golden lines of the image standing out against the grey of the rock face. It is quite a sight, especially when illuminated by the sun’s rays.

A spacious clubhouse dominates the landscape with a huge center reception and pro shop. The locker rooms and other facilities are more than adequate and the restaurant serving both Thai and European food is superb and well-priced.

Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club’s easy access from Pattaya plus decent playing conditions makes this course worth including in most Pattaya golf packages.

Located just 15 mins away from Patong Beach, Phuket Country Club is the oldest golf course in Phuket, established in 1989. The Old Course was the first championship standard 18-hole golf course built on Phuket Island. Set amidst a valley in Kathu, the fairways meander through hills and limestone cliffs, traversing 3 distinct environments, with six holes in undulating hills, six holes on the level and six holes through landscape forest. The signature par five 10th hole is probably the most memorable hole, which angles its way round a large lake with the chance of a hole in one! The Country Club Course is a challenging 9-hole par 36 championship course, where water comes into play 90% of the time.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course is unmistakably the oldest 18-hole international standard golf course in Thailand and is only 5 minutes from downtown Hua Hin. The course was commissioned in 1924 to accommodate the interests of the British railway workers and Thai aristocracy living in the area.

The course is built on natural terrain and set between some breathtaking rocky hills. Spectacular views of the Gulf of Thailand and the city center are possible from several holes. A major renovation in the 1980’s brought this course up to international standards, despite its age. Mature tree lined fairways are now abundant.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course Thailand 1

Your skills will definitely be tested here, with many tight tree-lined fairways, many nicely doglegging holes and relatively small circular greens to hit, greens are mostly elevated. The bunkering is quite modest and the course condition might not be as manicured as some in the Hua Hin Region, but Royal Hua Hin has some very pleasing features in its treasure chest.

At par-3 14th, the signature hole, and the par-5 3rd, you have the opportunity to see temples clinging to the sides of tree-clad hills. While one side of the course is played under a scenic tree-clad rocky hill, the other side will provide occasional glimpses of the ocean from the two elevated sections of the course.

A remodeled club house creates a nice 19th hole to reflect on the golfers who have passed through the doors during the past century that Royal Hua Hin Golf Course has been around. Royal Hua Hin is a course that should be played at least once by every golf traveler to Hua Hin.

Sea Pines Golf Course (also known as Army Golf Club II) is constructed along the gulf of Thailand in the Suan Son Pradiphat (Sea Pine Tree Garden).

Most area within the Sea Pines are comprised of bracken pine trees and enriched by the beauty of oceans and mountains. The army originally developed the site as a form of retreat for serving soldiers and veterans and their families.

The Sea Pines Golf Course’s course design and layout have been developed to give golfers a wide range of challenge. Depending on wind conditions, the course difficulty will vary. The course is created with six holes lying on the beachside.

Sea Pines Golf Course Hua Hin Thailand 1

The dogleg, par-5 12th hole is one of the toughest, as the design affords it protection in the form of fairway bunkers and water hazard along the right-hand side. Moreover, a small bunker located in the middle of the fairway creates a dilemma – go for a driver from the tee, or ‘play it safe’ by opting for a ‘lay-up’ approach?

Along the stretch at Sea Pines, the sea breeze comes in play and the three final holes are among the best in Hua Hin golf. The 16th is a dogleg par-5 which demands a drive to a narrow fairway down the hill to avoid water hazards on both sides. Looking down at the hole for their second shot will give golfers an amazing view of the ocean and mountains. The most challenging part of the hole is the approach shot. One has to choose between slicing over the water/bunker onto the sloping green or take a safe route to the left side of the fairway.

The signature 17th is a par-3 which consists of a spectacular ocean view on the background. The tee shot is all carry over water and is comprised of wide undulating green that is well surrounded by beach bunker. Shots which are slightly longer or shorter will find themselves landing on the sand. The 17th may also be tougher depending on the wind and pin placement as this hole is played over a large lake onto peninsula green.

The large trees at Siam Country Club often get in the way and will punish errant tee shots. The greens at Siam Country Club Old Course are mostly large, roll fast, and are well maintained.

Siam Country Club  Old Course Pattaya 1

Filled with numerous bunkers and water hazards, the course boasts several challenging holes, particularly the last four holes. The 15th through 18th holes taken together could be the best finishing holes of any Pattaya golf course. If you’re having a good day and scoring well, take care as these 4 holes could easily bring you back to earth and ruin a good score. Siam Country Club, Old Course is one of the best courses in Pattaya. Together with the Plantation, Waterside, and Laem Chabang courses the 4 take top honors.

The Siam Country Club Plantation Couse is undoubtedly an extraordinary golf course. It has held internationally acclaimed tours such as the 2009 US LGPA and 2015 Thailand Open. Nothing was spared by designer Lee Schmidt.

The 27-hole layout consisting of the Sugarcane, Tapioca and Pineapple course, is routed through rolling terrain with distant panoramic views of Pattaya Beach, Laem Chabang, and the Gulf of Thailand. Formerly a tapioca and pineapple plantation, the property’s environmental and natural characteristics include rough ravines intersecting its Paspalum fairways and mature trees increased by landscape ground cover and plantings. The Plantation Course also features steep elevation changes that result in numerous breathtaking sea views of Gulf of Thailand.

Siam Country Club  Plantation Pattaya 1

The course has many difficult holes. Long carries, blind shots, elevated greens, undulating fairways and greens, giant high-lipped bunkers, and shaved fringes on every hole are in play to challenge even the professional golfer. Two nines, the 3,759-yard par-36 Tapioca and the 3,645-yard par-36 Pineapple, feature Asia’s first triple green. The Tapioca’s seventh and the Pineapple’s fourth and ninth holes play to a single green measuring more than 20,000 square feet (1,916 square meters) which serves as a unique focal point on this Pattaya golf course. The green’s undulating putting surface is attached and is divided into three distinct sections by large swales. Number seven on the Tapioca is a par-3 of 178 yards, while numbers four and nine on the Pineapple are lengthy par-4s of 490 and 469 yards, respectively. The Sugar Cane Course is the Siam Country Club Plantation Course’s third nine which plays out to the left of the driving range and staging area. The par-36, 3,736-yard layout is arguably the best of the 3 nines and includes the spectacular fifth. A par-5 with over 28 bunkers the Plantation Course’s signature hole plays long uphill with a split fairway. The right side fairway makes a very difficult and long carry to have any change to reach the green. The alternative, hitting to the left fairway and take advantage of the simpler approach shot and stand a chance to get a par.

Siam Motors Group launches a mega golf course center in Thailand, Siam Country Club Waterside. Golfers will experience creation of design in harmony with nature.  With many water-feature holes, Signature Hole will be a memorable one.  Course design will be strategic with locations of lakes and creeks in play.  The back tee will challenge the best.  At the same time, the regular tee will offer enjoyment for all golfers. 

Much emphasis have been given to challenge golfers and, most important, happiness at the end of the day.  The main highlight of the Waterside will include the clubhouse with 180 degrees view of the beauty of the course, lakes, creeks and landscape blending with natural surroundings. Siam Country Club Waterside Course is the third layout from Siam Motors Group in Pattaya. The Waterside Course, designed by IMG, features gently slanted terrain, making it very different from the hillier Siam Country Club Old and Plantation Courses. Over a span of 200 acres the golfer friendly course is of the same championship quality and 5-star experience as its other two big brothers next door. Course design is planned with several lakes and creeks in play.  At over 7400 yards the back tees will challenge the experienced golfers.  At the same time, other tees down to 5000 yards are available and offer enjoyment for golfers across different levels.

Fairways are grassed with the latest variety of Paspalum grass while greens are a variety of Bermuda grass. Many holes are surrounded by water while the greens are flushed with the fairways making most holes very friendly. Hole-17th, a long 600 yards par-5 that gives long hitters the option to cut across a dogleg left over water to reach the green in two or shorter hitters a layup, but still challenging shot over a deep ravine to make the green in regulation.

The final hole is a great finishing hole playing around the large manmade lake in front of the club house. The 420 yards par-4 is a monster for any golfer, especially playing into the prevailing winds. Many rounds will be settled here with the rare birdy possible, but many more bogies or worse more likely.

The Springfield Royal Country Club is located off the Hua Hin bypass road near Cha Am. The course is rated as one of the best Hua Hin golf courses and the traditional Jack Nicklaus layout has managed to uphold its reputation.

The course at Springfield Royal Country Club has been created to meet the high standards of a reputable championship golf course without compromising its ability to remain as an enjoyable challenge for golfers from all levels. Each hole has a minimum of five tees to play from, but only the bold and the experienced will embark on the black tee. Water hazards are quite frequent and each hole presents its own unique challenge and character requiring finesse or unrestraint. Being able to hit an accurate shot is required to score well as the rough is comprised of a series of hillocks and holes lined by a forest of mature trees. Jack Nicklaus designs love to catch player out who hits a poor weak fade and the back nine when lethargy kicks into your game. It can be punishing with either a huge waste bunkers or water on your right hand side and close to the fairway.

Springfield Royal Country Club Fairway2 1

Starting with a par-4, the first hole is a gentle 389 yards from blue tees and the hole looks quite simple. However, the well protected green proves to be difficult and requires high accuracy. As you end off your round, the par-5 18th and Springfield’s signature hole, demands one final perfect shot to a difficult island green. If you manage to hit a good drive over the tress of the dogleg left, then the green will be in sight for the second shot.

Springfield Royal offers other unbeatable facilities on top of the splendid course. The club house was built in an elevated position that will give you a lasting impression. The interior is neatly finished with polished marble & granite, and portrays lavishness; changing rooms are superb and even features a bar inside the locker rooms.

English born golf course architect Desmond Muirhead has created one of Pattaya’s most interesting golf courses by working with a remarkable and undulating natural topography. The golf course offers an uncompromising challenge aimed at players with handicaps of 18 or lower. Playing at over 7700 yards to a par 74, this is a tough course. St Andrews features elevated tees and greens, tight landing zones, split elevation fairways, huge putting surfaces and while difficult to accept for the true golfer, two par 6’s, over 800 yards each! The back nine in particular has large elevation changes and views of the surrounding hillsides.

The course is targeted for accomplished players; it is the most challenging course in Pattaya and should be played by all golf tourists. The course is an extremely tough test of golf from any tee and the two par-6 holes are a bit much for the golf course purist. The additional long fairway shot that must be played demands a completely different dimension in concentration and course management.

St  Andrews 2000 Golf Club Pattaya 1

 

The course requires power, accuracy and strategic positioning of each shot due to the high number of hazards. Even one errant shot can be very costly. This Pattaya golf course requires the use of every club and also will be the subject of lots of stories about a challenging round of golf. Bring lots of golf balls, and expect to otherwise be beaten up by this course.

St. Andrews 2000 Golf Club is under the same management, sharing the same facilities as the Rayong Green Valley and Silky Oak courses. The club house and onsite golf resort overlook the course, while the former makes for a good 19th hole to reflect on your round. For those looking for a best of Pattaya golf package, St. Andrews must be one of the included stops.

One of Chiangmai’s best kept courses, Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club is a palm tree lined picturesque course set against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains and is difficult to par, especially from the tips at 7200 yards. The fairways seem wide, but the abundance of well-placed sand bunkers and lots of water at the landing areas come into play on nearly every hole. Narrow fairways then give way to large receptive greens that run from moderate to slightly fast. The most memorable hole is the 416 yards, par 4, 9th. Tee shots must carry over water to a landing area lined with sand traps on both sides. The 2nd shot is again over water to an elevated island green encircled by large palm trees. Course length, numerous elevation changes and prevailing winds makes Summit Green Valley a tough but fair challenge to golfers of all skill levels. With its proximity to Chiangmai and availability of night golf, Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club is a popular choice for the golfer looking to play on the day of arrival or departure.

Opened in 1996 and designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson, Royal Chiang Mai is one of the shorter courses at just 6969 yards. What it lacks in length though, it more than makes up for in features borrowed from British Parkland courses, something well suited to what was formerly the site of a fruit orchard. With its many flora and fauna, the very scenic Royal Chiang Mai is heavily lined with mature trees and the rough is best kept away from, as are the lakes, streams and waterfalls that are in play on almost every hole. Links style inspired fairways are bumpy and gently rolling, with the golfer encountering more than the occasional pot bunker enroute to the deceptively short elevated greens surrounded by closely mown areas and more high-lipped sand traps. As can be expected, this is a course that rewards the accurate golfer more than the long hitter, yet still presents a pleasurable challenge to both beginners and the more avid player.

The Royal Golf and Country Club is located near to the airport, surrounded by colorful flowers and shading trees. The layout features undulating fairways and tiered greens on nearly every hole. Its playing condition is in top shape and was recently praised by the Golf Association of Japan as one of the best managed golf courses in Thailand. Long par 3s on the course are some of the most challenging in Bangkok, especially the 235-yard hole #17, which is one of the most difficult to play on. The tricky par four hole #16, dubbed the “Mickey Mouse hole” because its sand bunker resembles the famous Disney character, with two imposing ears sticking out.

This 18-hole golf course is located in a deep valley, in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Khao Yai National Park, surrounded by lake and mountain views blended with Tuscan architecture, and fresh air of nature.
