プレザント バレイ ゴルフ & カントリー クラブ
A nearly flat course surrounded by palm trees with a view of the mountains of Khao Kheow National Park. Strategically placed ponds and bunkers make this a challenging course. The greens have moderate undulations and variations such as two-tiered greens. The holes are not laid out in parallel, but are designed independently, which is attractive. The greens are slow and the fairways are not well maintained.

Course Introduction
A very short middle hole with a slight dogleg to the left. If you make a good shot with your driver, you can get the ball close to the green, but the further you go, the narrower the landing area becomes because of the pond on the right and two fairway bunkers on the left. You will be forced to make a decision on what to use on your tee shot.
A dogleg hole to the right. The tee shot is over a pond, so be careful of the other pond on the right, which is blind. The second shot also has a narrow landing area because the pond on the right is close by. A ridge crosses the center of the long green, and slopes down to the front and back. The green is guarded by bunkers on both sides.
Trivia
1.5 hours drive from central Bangkok, 45 minutes drive from Pattaya.
