ブラパゴルフ＆リゾート (ウエストコース)

This hilly course consists of 36 holes, consisting of Courses A and B, and Courses C and D. Courses A and B are a little longer and relatively flat, with a layout inspired by American golf courses. Courses C and D have many ups and downs that make the most of the hilly terrain. The 2010 Thailand Open was held using Courses D and B. Courses C and D are championship courses where local Thai tournaments such as the Pattaya Open are held every year. Courses C and D have many downhill and uphill holes, making them a layout that is popular with advanced players. Course C is not very long, but ponds are involved in five of the nine holes. Course D is the longest course, making it the most challenging of the four. The beautiful scenery of the holes spread out over the sloping hills is highly acclaimed, and the view of Pattaya City from holes 8 and 9 on Course D is particularly spectacular.

Course Introduction

Hole 1Par 4458 yds

A slightly dogleg left hole that is difficult. On the tee shot, there is a fairway bunker on the left and a pond on the right. The green is long and narrow with a guard bunker at the back right.

Hole 4Par 4370 yds

A slight dogleg to the left. On the tee shot, the OB zone on the left is shallow, and one bunker on the right side is in play, so the fairway is tight. Be careful of the large guard bunker that runs from the front left to the left of the green. The green slopes back from the center to the center.

Hole 5Par 3142 yds

A beautiful short hole over a pond with a large guard bunker in front of the elevated green.

Hole 8Par 4200 yards

A short downhill hole with a right sloping green surrounded by many bunkers.

Hole 9Par 4415 yds

A fairly straight hole. The tee shot is over a pond and the one bunker on the left side of the tight fairway comes into play. The second shot is a gentle uphill shot to a green guarded by a bunker on the front left.

Hole 10Par 5524 yds

A slight dogleg hole to the left with the left side of the fairway almost facing a pond. The tee shot is downhill, but you need a 260-yard carry to get over the creek that crosses the fairway, so cutting in front of the creek is also an option. The second shot also has a creek that crosses it, so you need to decide whether to cross it or cut in front. There is a bunker in front right of the green.

Hole 15Par 4432 yds

A gently uphill dogleg hole to the left. There is only one fairway bunker that is barely effective. The fairway is undulating and has some ups and downs. The green is long and narrow.

Hole 16Par 4280 yds

A very short middle hole with a dogleg to the left. It is an uphill shot, but long hitters can get the ball close to the green if they can hit a draw ball. The fairway in front of the green is narrow because of two bunkers on each side.

Hole 17Par 3227 yds

A short hole with a beautiful downhill view. The two-tiered green is surrounded by four bunkers.

Hole 18Par 4510 yds

A very long middle hole with a dogleg to the left. The tee shot is downhill, with a shallow OB zone on the left and three fairway bunkers on the right. The second shot is a gentle downhill shot, with a slight slope on the green.
