Pattaya Golf

Khao Kheow Country Club

The first 18 holes here have been designed as a stadium championship course and the second 18 holes as a resort course. Both are surrounded by hills. When the wind blows, players need to plan their shots on account of the numerous bunkers surrounding the greens and large ponds surrounding the fairways. Signature hole seventeen is a very challenging par three where the tee shot must be hit to an island green. Clubhouse facilities are extensive and there is a sports complex, in addition to a swimming pool and tennis courts. Hotel accommodation is available.

Laem Chabang International

This championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus is undoubtedly one of the finest golf courses in Thailand. The three nines comprising the 27-hole layout-'Mountain', 'Lake' and 'Creek' offer interesting variations in terrain. The rolling hills of the surrounding countryside have been used to effect, and the exposed rock formations add to the beauty of the fairways. Lakes, ponds and creeks pose a major threat to stray shots and some of the water carries are very challenging. The large, undulating greens are mostly elevated and protected by wide bunkers. Excellent clubhouse facilities and accommodations on site complement the outstanding golf course.


Natural Park Hill Golf Club

The designer has created a very pretty course with beautiful flowers and trees providing a backdrop to every green. The fairways and greens are in excellent condition. The par- five 6th and 14th both have the greens tucked behind huge water hazards and the dog-leg approach makes the holes even more exacting. Two of the par-three holes require the player to hit "water carries" to island greens. There are pleasant views of the course from the clubhouse which provides most amenities.

Natural Park Resort

A 27-hole park and course comprising three nines, the layout is somewhat uninteresting, but has been improved by extensive use of palm trees lining the fairways. There are some good dog-leg holes, particularly the third on the "In" course. At this hole it is important to "place" the tee shot to avoid the huge expanse of water on the left and well placed traps on the right; the second shot has to be hit over water and the shot to the green is well guarded by bunkers. The short eighth on the "out" course is an exciting hole, as the tee shot has to be played to an island green. Clubhouse facilities are of a very high standard.

Noble Place Golf Course

Designed by the 'old master' Peter Thomson and Dennis Wolverine, this is a thinking man's course. There are many pot bunkers lying in wait to catch the errant shot. Palm-tree-lined fairways tend to be undulating, as do the greens. There is not much water, but the designers have provided masses of sand, reeds and heavy rough, which gives the course a links feel. This course is without doubt one of the best in the Pattaya area. Clubhouse facilities are very good and hotel accommodations are available.

Phoenix Golf & Country Club

Blessed with a wooded, rolling terrain, this coastal course comprises three nines-"Ocean", "Lake" and "Mountain". The fairways tend to be narrow, but the greens are tend to be narrow, but the greens are spacious and landscaped with bamboo, eucalyptus and bushes. Water has been used sparingly, except for the middle nine where there is plenty of it. This is exemplified on the very tough par-four 17th, which dog-legs left around a big lake. The second shot here has to be played with extreme accuracy as there is water on the left and right approach to the green. Good clubhouse facilities, a sports complex and nearness to Pattaya make this course well worth visiting.

Siam Country Club

Siam Country Club is without doubt one of the finest and most difficult courses in Thailand. Set in lovely country in low hills behind Pattaya, the course is well-established and has masses of mature trees and shrubs. Long, straight driving is required to negotiate the often narrow fairways. Dotted with many bunkers and water hazards, the course boasts several dramatic holes, particularly the last four. The home hole is a long, dog-leg parr five, uphill towards the rather unusual clubhouse. Rooms are available at the club, but most golfers opt to stay in Pattaya.

Sriracha Golf Club

Gary Player's contribution to golf in Thailand is a relatively short course set in beautiful countryside. The course does not feature many water hazards and the par-four holes tend to be short, especially from the standard men's tees. There are many uphill and downhill fairway lies. The greens and bunkers are beautifully maintained. Clubhouse facilities are very good, including an enormous swimming pool. There are some accommodations available in the neighboring condominiums.
