スワンナプーム ゴルフ&カントリークラブ (ノース+イースト コース)
Formerly known as President Country Club, the course features 36 holes, consisting of the West South Course and the North East Course, spread across a flat terrain. The fairways are relatively wide, and the trees separating each hole are small and few in number, giving the course a somewhat rough feel, but the water hazards are cleverly placed, making for many strategic holes. All of the par 3s in particular are excellent, making for a highly refined layout.

Course Introduction
It's almost straight, and the green is swung to the right at the end. A pond cuts into the right half of the front of the green. The green is long and narrow, and if the pin is on the right, it is only 15 yards deep. A shot over the pond is required, and if the pin is on the left, the bunker at the back of the green comes into play.
A long par 4 that is a slight dogleg to the left. The left side of the fairway faces a pond, which cuts into the green. This hole is on the right side of a large pond, and shares a green with the par 5 No. 8 on the West South Course on the left side. The view of the clubhouse from this hole is magnificent.
