How much does it cost to play golf in Thailand?

When planning a golf holiday in Thailand, there are several things you must consider before booking your trip. Having decided what time of you would like to play golf in Thailand, you must choose the region of Thailand you would like to visit for golf. Where in Thailand you decide to play golf will not only have an impact on the choice of golf courses you have to play but also the cost of playing golf in Thailand.

How much it costs to play golf in Thailand will depend on both the level of accommodation you book and the golf courses you play. For example, it is always going to be more expensive to stay in a luxurious 5-star resort that it would be to base yourself in a 3-star hotel. This is common sense and applies to any type of holiday but how much does it cost to play golf in Thailand in terms of the golf courses themselves?

Cost of playing golf in Bangkok - View Bangkok Green Fees

As one would expect, playing golf in and around Bangkok is one of the more expensive regions of the country. You will find a huge selection of golf courses in the Bangkok area, with some being the most highly rated in the whole of Thailand. Examples include Alpine Golf and Sports Club and Thai Country Club, two golf clubs which are considered a must for all golfers in this region of the country. However, as is often the case with many capital cities around the world, the cost of playing golf in Bangkok is higher than some of the other locations in Thailand.

Average costs of Weekday Green Fees in Bangkok

Premium Courses (Thai Country Club/Alpine etc.)                              US$130-150

Value Courses (Thana City/Summit Windmill etc)                                US$80-90

Cheap Courses (Kung Kravee/Ratchakram)                                           US$40-45

These rates increase by 25-30% at weekends and on public holidays.

Phuket Is another example of a region which boasts some of the best golf courses in Thailand. Being a very popular tourist destination, there are many accommodation options in Phuket, but it is the quality of the golf courses which steal the show on this island. Some of the green fees match that of Bangkok but the quality of the golf courses in Phuket is second to none. Blue Canyon Country Club, Laguna Golf Phuket and Red Mountain Golf Club may not be the cheapest golf courses you will play in Thailand, but they certainly rank highly for quality.
