Course Introduction
A long, straight shot that is difficult to follow. Tropical rainforests hang over both sides of the fairway, and the Khao Yai Mountains can be seen on the horizon in the distance. There is a pond 310 yards from the tee. There is also a pond covered with large lotus flowers at the landing point for the second shot, so you will be forced to decide whether to play safely with an iron in front of the pond, or to boldly attack the narrow fairway on the left side close to the green with a wood. The front of the green faces the lotus pond. It is a long, back-to-back green.
A short shot over a bush. The green is long and slopes to the left.
A long, slight dogleg to the left. On the tee shot, you need to be careful of the bush on the right and the two bunkers on the left. The second shot is over a dry creek, and the pond on the left and the fairway bunker on the right come into play. There are bunkers on the front left and right of the green, and a pond just to the left of the green, so if the pin is cut to the left, it becomes more difficult.
Almost a straight long shot. The tropical rainforest on both sides of the tee shot and the second shot make for a tight hole layout. There are also bunkers on both sides of the landing area for the second shot. The green is slightly elevated.
A short shot with a long distance. There is a huge deep bunker about 100 yards long on the front right of the green, and the left side is guarded by two bunkers. There is a bush right at the back of the green, so hitting over the green is a no-no.
A dogleg to the right. Two bunkers on the left come into play on the tee shot, and for long hitters, a huge bunker over 100 yards long located in front right of the green comes into play. The bunker guards the right side of the green, and is characterized by its deepness. The green is long and gently undulated.
A very long and almost straight middle shot. The second shot is downhill and slopes back to the green.
A steep dogleg to the right. There are ponds on both sides of the tee shot, and a large tree with lush branches 300 yards away. For long hitters, if the tee shot flies to the left of the tree, the branches will be stymied on the second shot, making it difficult to aim for the green. The right side of the green is surrounded by ponds, making it a back-to-back green.
