ワンジャン ゴルフパーク (左グリーン)
This is a magnificent golf course that was converted from rubber, pineapple, and sugarcane plantations. It is built on a deep, clearing forest, so you can play in the middle of nature. The old trees that existed before the development and the new trees that decorate the course give each hole an artistic beauty. It is a rare two-green system in Thailand. The two greens are not the small greens that are often seen on Japanese courses, but rather large, 40 yards long on each hole, and have severe undulations. There is a right green on Saturdays and a left green on Sundays. The right green is over 7,200 yards long, making it more difficult than the left green, but the left green is also nearly 7,100 yards long, making it a very challenging course.

Course Introduction
The tee shot is slightly downhill, and the second shot is slightly uphill. From the tee, the trees on both sides of the fairway look like they are closing in, which puts you under pressure. If you hit your tee shot to the right side of the fairway, the trees surrounding the left half of the green will not get in the way on your second shot.
This hole crosses a small hill. After a tough uphill shot, there is a tough downhill shot. If you hit to the right side of the fairway, the trees in front will not block your second shot, so you can aim for a two-on. However, since it is a blind hole where you don't know where to hit your second shot, you will need to follow the instructions of the staff at the top of the hill. Once you reach the top of the hill, a magnificent view will unfold below you.
This is a dogleg to the left with a downhill tee shot. The green is elevated, making this a highly strategic hole. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as the play. There are four different trees on the right and left side of the fairway, and on the left and back sides of the green. They are stately and beautiful, and soothing to the soul.
Trivia
It is located in the Pattaya area, but it is only 2.5 hours one way from Bangkok, so you can play on a day trip. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes from Pattaya. It is only open on weekdays unless there is a competition with more than 20 people, so you can only play on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It is a wonderful golf course designed by Thai people.
