Chatrium Golf Resort Soi Dao Chanthaburi

What a gem and worth the 2.5 hour drive from Pattaya. Played firm not the normal thai soaked fairways. Fairways 5 approach they were doing a little work but excellent. Greens firm recepive and fast ran true, give them a 5. Tee excellent, layout 5+ . Only draw back was the driving range great they had one and a practice area, but a group had been there for almost two months and it was thread bare.. still 4. service 5+. food excellent, I staye dover night the lodging was excellent. The two caddies I had were spot on. One was a student his name was F. and Lan the second day both very good. Pace of play I was a single with no rights on the course so I got behind a a few 4 and 5 somes.. but still finished in 4 hours. First day did 27 in 5 hours with cart, second day walked 18 and was reasonable to walk. overall worth the drive and $150 for two rounds and a night at there hotel that was 5++.

Reviewed yesterday.. walked today.. nice easy walk great course excellent caddie. Everything 10+++ need I say more..

This is an amazing golf course set in the mountains about three hours west of Pattaya. There is a very good hotel attached and its best to stay overnight before returning to Pattaya. There are some really beautiful holes and the course has been wonderfully designed to provide a real challenge. The course is in great condition and there were teams of workers manicuring the course. It was a little waterlogged in the early morning but soon dried out. It is very long and even from the white tees we found it very difficult to reach the greens with our second shots on the par 4's. But all-in-all an extraordinary golf course.

Soi Dao was a real hidden gem .. a small lodge hotel resort course that was uncrowded and a very good test for mid-lower handicap players .. definitely of 'international' standard in wonderful mountain tropical ( relatively cool ) surroundings with a good coffee shop and pool. We played the course twice and would have happily played it again.

I have not played everywhere in Thailand but Soi Dao Highlands is one of the best golf courses I have played so far with plenty of variety. The surrounding scenery is amazing and it is like playing in a national park with hundreds of native birds and even the local gibbons providing a welcome distraction. We did not stay here although we were tempted by the amazing location. A great clubhouse with excellent changing rooms. I would definitely return and play here again.
