Course Introduction

After a strong dogleg to the right, this is a challenging double dogleg that curves gently to the left. The pond on the right and the blind pond on the left come into play on the tee shot. The bunker on the left side of the fairway is 220 yards away. Be careful with the OB on the left for the second shot, as it is shallow. A long and huge bunker stretching from 50 yards to the green narrows the fairway, making the second shot difficult for long hitters. The green is slightly elevated and two-tiered, with a high back.

A nearly straight middle hole. A river flows on the right side of the fairway, and the OB on the right is also shallow. The green is also 50 yards long and narrow. There is a bunker on the left, and the entire right side faces a pond, so an accurate second shot is required.

A straight hole. Be careful of the pond and bunker on the right for the tee shot. The second shot is over a small pond and a creek. The green is large and two-tiered, with a strong backlash.

A long, almost straight, difficult hole. The river flows to the right of the teeing ground, then moves to the left of the fairway, then crosses the fairway and runs along the right side before eventually exiting the right side of the green. On the tee shot, you must cross the river on the left, a large tree, and the river. Also, the river on the right comes into play on the second shot. On the third shot, you need to be careful of the river to the right of the green and the deep bunker guarding the front. The green is long and slopes down slightly to the back.

A dogleg to the left that curves at more than a right angle. There are water hazards on both sides of the tee shot, making the landing area narrow. The second shot is over a pond, and the bunker guarding the front right of the green is deep, so it is best to avoid it. The green is elevated, with the front half strongly supported and the back half sloping down.

A short shot over a pond. The long green juts out into the pond from the left and slopes to the right.

A famous hole with a strong dogleg to the left. Be careful of the pond on the left when you take your tee shot. The pond is just beyond the palm trees in front of you. The second shot is over the pond. The view from the second point is postcard-worthy with countless floating lotus flowers. The front and left sides of the green face the pond, and the left side is guarded by two bunkers. The relatively small, vertically long green has three tiers.

Trivia

It is an hour's drive from central Bangkok. You can play from the full back black tees. The course is excellent and the green fees are low, making it a great value for money.
