リバデール ゴルフ & カントリー クラブ
This is an artificially constructed hill course. It was created by filling a flat area with soil. There are many flat courses around Bangkok, but this course has ups and downs. Most of the par 4s and par 5s are downhill from an elevated tee. The view of the holes played from the tee ground is spectacular, but it does not increase the strategic element. Many of the par 4s and par 5s have uphill holes from the second shot onwards. There are also many bunkers in play, and deep pot bunkers where you just have to get the ball out if you put it in. The fairways are firm, making it easy to get the distance with a driver. The greens have very large undulations.

Course Introduction
A very long shot with a slight dogleg to the right. The tee shot is downhill, the second shot is flat, and the third shot is uphill. The right fairway bunker is in play on the second shot, making the landing area narrow. Bunkers are located on the left and front right of the green. The green is two-tiered with a strong backrest.
A famous hole. There are two greens, and players can choose between the shorter 127-yard downhill island green or the 182-yard uphill green. The longer 182-yard green is diagonally placed, and is a three-sided green with the front left and back right lower. The apron in front of the green has a steep downward slope and a pot bunker about 2 meters deep on the front left. Therefore, it is necessary to select a club that can reach the green surface directly, taking into account the uphill shot.
A straight hole. The downhill tee shot is shallow with OB on the left and a pond on the right. The left fairway bunker can be cleared with a 250-yard drive. The second shot is a gentle uphill shot. The right side of the green is guarded by a cliff and a pond, and the green is two-tiered with a steep step.
A dogleg to the left. The tee shot is slightly downhill, with a pond and a long fairway bunker on the left. The fairway slopes slightly to the left. For the second shot, the pond looming from the left and two fairway bunkers on the right make the landing area narrow. The green is swung to the left and is surrounded by ponds from the front to the left. A ridge runs down the middle of the green, sloping down from the middle to the left and right.
A straight, difficult hole. The tee shot is a gentle downhill shot with a pond and a large fairway bunker on the left. The green is strongly elevated, so the second shot is a slight uphill shot over the pond. Be careful as the guard bunker in front of the green is deep. The green slopes steeply from the back right to the front left.
The fairway meanders along the pond, making it an almost straight hole. The tee shot is slightly downhill with a pond on the left and two fairway bunkers on the right. For the second shot, the pond cuts into the left and bunkers on both sides make the fairway tight. There is a large guard bunker in front of the green. The green is long horizontally and has two tiers, front and back.
