サイアム カントリー クラブ (ウォーターサイド)
The course is built around four ponds, and water hazards are involved on 12 holes. While the other Old and Plantation courses at Siam CC have ups and downs, this course is mostly flat. The greens are large and par is relatively easy, so the quality of your putts will have a big impact on your score. The guard bunkers and ponds around the greens make it more strategic, but as long as the tee ground you play from is not too far away, it's not that difficult.

Course Introduction
A long hole with a slight dogleg to the left. The river on the left and two bunkers on the right come into play on the tee shot. The river crosses the fairway and joins a pond at the end, so the second shot must cross the river, and care must be taken with the pond approaching from the right. The green slopes sharply to the right, faces the pond on the right, and is guarded by two bunkers on the left.
A long hole with a dogleg to the left. The tee shot is over a pond, and you need 260 yards to clear the left fairway bunker. Be careful of the pond on the left side for the second shot. The green is long and narrow, facing the pond on the left side, and is guarded by bunkers in front and to the right. Because the green slopes toward the pond, there is a risk that a draw ball will roll into the pond even if it lands on the green.
