Thailand, often referred to as the "Land of Smiles" and long known for its stunning beaches and rich cultural heritage, is also gaining a reputation as a premier golfing destination in Southeast Asia. The country offers a wide array of world-class golf courses that cater to recreational players and professionals alike.

Thailand is an ideal place to play golf with more than 200 golf courses in Thailand – many of them have been designed by some of the most famous names in golf. Beyond the sheer wealth of options available, Thailand's allure as a golfing paradise can be attributed to several factors. First and foremost, the climate is ideal for year-round golfing, with mild and pleasant temperatures, particularly during the cool, dry season that runs from November to February. The country's tourism infrastructure is well-developed, with many golf resorts offering luxurious accommodations and excellent facilities.

Siam Country Club Plantation Course, Pattaya

Excellent maintenance on this challenging 27-hole layout

Siam Country Club Plantation Course, Pattaya - 8th hole

The most difficult and most picturesque of the excellent suite of courses at Siam Country Club, the Plantation Course is a 27-hole layout built on the site of a former pineapple plantation with great view towards the sea and the city. There are plenty of elevation changes here which makes club selection a challenge, especially on some of the par 3s.  

The course presents one challenge after another in the shape of blind tee shots, huge bunkers that you can only dig your way out of, undulating fairways and fast greens that are fiendishly difficult to read. If that wasn’t enough the course is also long - at nearly 7,500 yards from the back, it's one of the longest in Thailand. 

The golf course is impeccably maintained, featuring manicured fairways flanked by dense rough and even thicker gorse. The greens are exceptionally swift, displaying none of the usual wear and tear commonly seen on other courses. It's hardly surprising that it has earned the title of Best Maintained Course in Asia Pacific at the World Golf Awards on three separate occasions.

 

Location: East of Pattaya – 30 minutes from the city

Birdies: Superb practice facilities, great clubhouse

Bogeys: Difficult to fault

Favorite Hole: The 5th, a stunning par 5 with a memorable phlanx of 28 bunkers!

Laem Chabang International Country Club, Pattaya

An old favourite designed by a master and still one of best in Pattaya

Laem Chabang International Country Club, 2nd Hole - Mountain Course

Another Jack Nicklaus masterpiece, Laem Chabang International Country Club has been around for more than 20 years and despite the arrival of many newer courses has managed to maintain its position as one of the premier courses in Thailand. There are three different nines and each of them offer a very different challenge. 

The Mountain Nine, as its name suggests, presents many elevation changes but the fairways are quite generous however the greens, in true Nicklaus style, are slightly elevated and well protected by bunkers. The Valley Nine is our favorite of the three layouts with several holes running alongside a large lake. The narrow fairways and small greens require careful shot making and it will really test your game. 

The Lake Nine plays along relatively generous tree-lined fairways which don’t present too many problems if you can keep out of the trees. Plenty of large bunkers which you should also keep well away from.  The 6th hole is particularly memorable with its deceptive fairway and water fronting the green. Night golf is available but the lights only illuminate the white tees but the visibility is generally excellent and is a good option if you don’t like the heat. 

This is a superbly managed course, always in excellent condition, and the clubhouse is one of the best around, with Japanese and European specialties on offer a la carte or buffet style. This is a superb championship golf course.

 

Location: Just off main Bangkok highway 30 minutes from Pattaya

Birdies: Excellent clubhouse facilities, great practice facilities, night golf

Bogeys: Carts never allowed on fairways, no single golfers

Favorite Hole: The par-3 2nd on Mountain Course, which plays downhill to an island green

Green Fee Price: From THB 3,200 (~$91 USD) for 18 Holes (caddie and cart are extra)

Alpine Golf Sports Club, Bangkok

A mature course which continues to improve with age - a must-play course in Bangkok

Alpine Golf & Sports Club, Bangkok

Alpine Golf & Sports Club is one of the top courses in Thailand and ranks with anything in Asia. It was created by legendary courses architect Ronald M. Garl and once hosted the Johnnie Walker Classic PGA tournament won by Tiger Woods. This is supposed to be a private members club but it is relatively easy, although a little expensive, to get on the course as a visitor. 

Although it is not a links course it has some huge beach bunkers and in many places water encroaches into the fairway. The fairways are always lush and a delight to hit off and the greens, although not the fastest, run straight and true.

The course is extremely picturesque with great views in every direction offering a stunning landscape of trees, flowering shrubs and bright green fairways set against the water hazards. However the course is quite challenging with plenty of undulation, forced water carries and some nasty looking bunkers protecting the greens. 

You need to be on top of your game and hit it quite long to venture off the blue tees so if you want a more enjoyable round you might be better to try the white tees. 

 

Location: 60 minutes northeast of Bangkok

Birdies: Excellent food in clubhouse

Bogeys: Gets very crowded with tour groups, a bit far from town

Favorite Hole: The 12th, a par 3 with a huge bunker and heavily contoured green

Thai Country Club, Bangkok

Sets the standard for service excellence from start to finish

Thai Country Club, Bangkok

Thai Country Club is arguably the most exclusive private members club in Bangkok but they admit visitors on most days although they do reserve some of their prime tee times for their members. The service you will receive at this course is second to none – partly because the course is managed by a hotel group and the attention to detail and service levels are up to a level that you would expect to receive at a 5-star hotel. This is another course that has been graced by Tiger Woods, who won the Honda Classic here back in 1997. 

The course itself is not the greatest layout but it is always in immaculate condition. Having said that many of the fairways have been contoured and the greens are often elevated and well-protected by bunkers. There are some very tough holes and the par 3, 6th which is more than 200 yards from the championship tees is statistically the most difficult hole on the course with bunkers in front of the green and water alongside the right.

Probably the best caddies in Thailand – very well trained and most of them have been around for many years and know the course well. The locker rooms are luxurious and the food in the restaurant outstanding and the entire experience from beginning to end is faultless. 

 

Location: 60 minutes southeast of Bangkok

Birdies: Superlative all-round service

Bogeys: Expensive, difficult to get tee times at weekends

Favorite Hole: The 6th, a gorgeous par 3 once voted the best in Asia

The RG City Golf Club (formerly Royal Gems Golf City), Bangkok

A wonderful replica course and the next best thing to playing at Augusta

Recently renamed to avoid confusion with the unaffiliated Royal Gems Golf & Country Club, The RG City Golf Club (formerly Royal Gems Golf City) is a relatively new course having opened in 2011. Soon after it opened it was completely inundated by the Bangkok floods so they had to totally replant everything. This is the first replica courses in Asia and is often referred to as the “Dream Arena”. The front nine consists of famous holes from around the world and the back nine is a replica of the back nine at Augusta. 

We say replica but actually a better term is reminiscent of Augusta because, although some of the holes are very faithful to the original, others require some imagination.  As the trees mature it will be more like the real thing but even now you can let your imagination run wild. 

Some of the famous names you will encounter on the front nine include the Postage Stamp hole from Troon, the Road Hole from St Andrews and the Pew Bunkers from Oakmont. One of the more intimidating holes is the replica island green from the 17th at Sawgrass. This is a private members club but they do allow visitors to play at certain times. A small but very nice clubhouse, super-luxury changing rooms and excellent practice facilities.

 

Location: 60 minutes north of Bangkok

Birdies: Great fun and something to tell your friends about

Bogeys: We cannot think of anything

Favorite Hole: The 13th, part of Amen Corner and a classic risk/reward hole

Nikanti Golf Club, Bangkok

The first all-inclusive golf course in Bangkok with one price covering everything including food

Nikanti Golf Club, Bangkok

Nikanti Golf Club offers something a little different than most other golf courses in Thailand. The club is located an hour away from Bangkok and the course has been designed by Piraporn Namatra. What makes this golf club unique for courses in Bangkok is the distance, just 6,850 yards from the back tees and the layout, which is three sets of 6 holes.

Regardless of which set of 6 holes you play to begin your round; you will return to the club house having played the sixth hole. There are two par-3’s, two par-4’s and two par-5’s on each of three sets of six holes.

The fairways throughout the course are wide but there are many elevation changes which make Nikanti Golf Club a good challenge, even for top players. The greens are undulating, significantly so in places and this only adds to the test of the course. The other aspect of Nikanti Golf Club which makes it different is the all-inclusive feature, which is not something most golf courses offer players.

 

Location: 90 minutes west of Bangkok

Birdies: Unusual three 6-hole layouts and wonderful freen food

Bogeys: The course is a long way from Bangkok

Favorite Hole: The 11th - a short par-3 with carry over water to green

Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club

Spectacular location in amongst the mountains of Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai has spawned a number of great new courses over the past few years and Chiang Mai Highlands still remains top of the pile.  The course is in a spectacular location amidst the beautiful northern Thai countryside, circled by mountains. 

The course was designed by Lee Schmidt of Schmidt-Curley Design, who, together with his partners are responsible for some of the Asia’s best courses.  The course has won a host of awards over the years and with the addition of another nine holes is sure to win plenty more.  The fairways have been laid with Paspalum grass and they have planted the greens with TiffEagle grass which provids an excellent surface for irons and smooth true greens all year round.  One of the things that you will remember after your round are the numerous bunkers and the original 18 hole layout has more than 130 fairway and greenside bunkers so your sand iron will get plenty of practice.  Even if you reach the green unscathed the undulating greens are tough to read and you will need to be on your best form to avoid too many of the dreaded three putts. 

A very nice Thai-style club house – with slightly tired-looking locker rooms but excellent food.  Superb practice facilities on offer.

 

Location: East of Chiang Mai one hour from city

Birdies: Wonderful views, excellent practice facilities

Bogeys: Inconsistent caddies and expensive drinks

Favorite Hole: The 18th –wonderful roller-coaster par- 5 reachable in two

Alpine Golf Resort, Chiang Mai

An old favourite but still one of best in Chiang Mai in spectacular surroundings

Alpine Golf Resort, Chiang Mai

Travelling to the north of Thailand and you will come to Chiang Mai.  Known for its traditional way of life, this region of the country is mountainous and there are some cracking golf courses to play, including Alpine Golf Resort. This 27-hole golf course is 40 minutes away from the city and is easily one of the top golf courses in the north of Thailand.

The nature surrounding Alpine Golf Resort is superb, from the nearby lush green forests to the hills in the background. However, having played host to the Asian Tour on more than one occasion, this is not a golf course to take lightly. It may be set in a spectacular location but playing to over 7,500 yards from the back tees, Alpine Golf Resort is a real test.

An additional nine holes opened for play in 2016 and you can play on Thailand’s only rice paddy green. The new holes have been cleverly mixed in with the old, so you can play a combination of the two at Alpine Golf Resort.

Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club

A real gem in a beautiful location and midweek usually pretty empty

Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club

It’s always difficult trying to select the best of anything as plenty of people are sure to disagree and there are other courses which arguably should have been on this list.  Amata Springs in Bangkok, another course which hosts a huge professional event, has been excluded as it’s almost impossible to get on without a member.  Perhaps Navatanee which once hosted the World Cup of Golf should be here but is now showing its age and past its best.

Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club opened for play in 1993 and was created by Robert Trent Jones Jr.  Just a few kilometres from the centre of the city, this was the first golf course in Chiang Rai and it has earned rave reviews.  Water plays a huge role in the layout of the course and combines with bunkers to offer the main challenge to players.

The undulating fairways and fast greens make this a genuine championship quality golf course and people travel from far and wide to play a round at Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club.  Many of the fairways are treelined and over them you can see the mountains of Chiang Rai, combining to give the course a theatre-like quality.

You will find Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club is kept in good condition throughout the year and the restaurant serves a selection of traditional and international dishes.  Having played one round at Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club, you are sure to return for another.

 

Location: Around 25 minutes friom centre of Chiang Rai

Birdies: Wonderful setting - sometimes feels like your private course

Bogeys: Can get very crowded with Korean groups

Grand Prix Golf Club, Kanchanaburi

So surprising to find a top-class golf course in such a remote location

Grand Prix Golf Club

Kanchanaburi is a town located to the east of Bangkok and is not only home to the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai but also several fantastic golf courses.  One of which is called Grand Prix Golf Club and this is an interesting course as it has links to the automobile industry.  The name of the golf club makes that quite clear and you will find plenty of links to the company which is behind both the golf course and the Bangkok International Motor Show.

The course itself offers lovely views of the Burmese mountain ranges and there is a river which meanders through the 18 holes.  Several of the fairways are split, which means you have a choice of approach to the green.  The putting surfaces often have more than one tier, so considerate and accurate approach play is must to avoid the dreaded three putt.

There is a modern clubhouse and resort which offers accommodation and Grand Prix Golf Club is rapidly becoming one of the most popular golf courses in Thailand.

 

Location: 30 mins from Kanchanaburi / 2 hours from Bangkok

Birdies: Stunning panoramic views of the mountains

Bogeys: Quite a long drive if you're coming from Bangkok
