ケーン クラチャン カントリー クラブ & リゾート
This is a hilly course with 27 holes. The 18-hole Lake & Valley Course was designed by Cherd Bunyaratavej, and in 2008 the 9-hole Mountain Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, was added. The Mountain Course has a layout that makes good use of the natural surroundings, with many holes with large elevation changes and each hole being unique, including four left doglegs. The Valley Course makes good use of natural ponds on several holes, and accuracy is more important than distance.

Course Introduction
A dogleg hole to the left. The tee shot is downhill, with forests on both sides making the landing area narrow. For the second shot, there are two cross bunkers in the center of the fairway, which divides the fairway into left and right. The second and third shots are gently uphill. There are bunkers in front and to the right of the two-tiered green.
A dogleg hole to the right. The tee shot is downhill and narrow, and the fairway slopes to the right. It is long enough that you can get on in two, but there is a bush right to the left of the green, so it is risky to aim for the green with the second shot. The elevated green is guarded by two bunkers in front and one on the right. The green is slightly backed by a slope.
Trivia
1 hour 10 minute drive from Hua Hin.
