Must-Play Golf Courses in Thailand — 16

Siam Country Club Bangkok

Siam Country Club Bangkok, located a 30-minute drive south of Bangkok, is the 5th club of the Siam Country family. It is not just a golf course, but a place where passion and perfection meet.

Unique Design by Cobb

The course, at 7,250 yards long, with 18 holes and a par 72, was designed by Toby Cobb. It was his first design project after working with Coore & Crenshaw and Tom Doak, with the aim of making this new Bangkok landmark stand out.

"I still don’t know how to describe the style of the course," Cobb said. His core mission is to create a unique experience for golfers, featuring small bunkers, smooth large greens, and wide, boundary-less fairways.

First Course in Thailand with Zoysia Grass

One of the highlights of the course is the shape and contour of the fairways and the stylish design of the tee boxes.

For the first time in a Thai golf course, Zoysia grass is used on the tees, fairways, and rough areas, transitioning seamlessly to the ultra-low Bermuda grass greens.

The use of Zoysia grass creates a unique experience as the dense roots cause the ball to bounce differently, adding excitement to the game.

Simple Yet Challenging Layout

Unlike many nearby courses, this golf course can be described as a hybrid course—a parkland layout. The course is clean, with wide fairways and gentle slopes, large elevated greens with water and beautiful sand bunkers, incorporating native red grass and mounds around many holes. The rough outside the fairways is kept short, allowing everyone to enjoy the game.

Opened in 2022, the trees are still too young to provide much shade, so umbrellas are a must-have on the course.

A True Test of Skill and Precision

With only four water holes, the course is filled with small bunkers and grass patches that, while small, often play a role in challenging players' shot-making skills.

The course is well-maintained, and the wind is extremely strong, making it a tough challenge.

The 18 greens, ranging from 425 to 1,000 square meters, are tricky and challenging, testing players' precision and club placement. Most players opt to aim for the center of the greens to avoid tricky runoff areas or awkward chip shots.

Unforgettable 18th Hole Experience

The unique 18th hole, facing the club’s restaurant, is a 100-yard par 3 with a large green, making it one of the must-put spots. If you hit the ball to the left of the green, you might land in a 3-meter deep bunker, and escaping from there is a real challenge.

Some players prefer the more traditional fishing hole, challenging the accuracy and distance of multiple short shots, rather than finishing with a short chip for fewer strokes.

This controversial final hole leaves an unforgettable experience for everyone who has played at this club.

Stylish and Fully Functional Clubhouse

The modern 4,400 square meter clubhouse features a contemporary design, making it the perfect place to relax after a day on the course. It’s fully equipped with top-class locker rooms, a well-stocked pro shop, and a first-class restaurant serving Japanese cuisine.

Unfortunately, there is no practice range, and golf carts must remain on the cart paths at all times.
