North/ West of Bangkok Ekachai Flats ,tight course, it seems to have more water than
fairways. Although the water has been moved away from some holes, it is
still easy to lose a dozen balls in the course of a round. There are 27
holes. 18 of them floodlit for night golf. although insects are a problem.
There are nice riverside restaurants at nearby Samut Sakhon, but it is
best to stay in Bangkok. Mission Hills This multi-million dollar 18-hole par 72 course was designed
by Jack Nicklaus, complete with his waste bunkers. Set on a shallow hill,
sloping away from the big timber-clad clubhouse, the wide fairways are
decorated with thousands of mature palms. An unusual feature is the camouflaged
drink-huts, their roofs turfed cover. A long way from Bangkok, there is
moderately expensive accommodation to rent alongside the course in mini-condos
by a lake; but there is a total absence of nightlife for miles around.
Ratchaburi Also known as Castle Hill, this pretty 18-hole par 72
course traces a figure-of-eight round two craggy hills. On the ridge between
them stands one of the most outrageous buildings on any Thai golf course
- a 5-storey combined clubhouse and condotel that is a copy of the Schonbrunn
Palace in Vienna. An exotic place to hide away for the weekend, it is
far enough from Bangkok to ensure that it is rarely crowded. Recommended. Rose Garden Once voted by an international golf magazine among the
best 20 resort courses in the world, Rose Garden's flattish fairways wind
through mature woodlands. It can be rather soggy after heavy rain, and
the elevated greens have never really been top class. Although no longer
pre-eminent, Rose Garden is always a delight to play, because the visitor
is offered supremely excellent service. The 18-hole par 72 course has
its own hotel nearby, but is within easy reach of Bangkok. The family
can spend the day at the nearby pleasure park and enjoy an elephant show. Royal Gems The designer, Gary Roger Baird, has built a truly excellent
course on this open site within easy reach of Bangkok. By constructing
a series of wide dams and linked waterfalls, he has turned a mundane piece
of land into a delightful landscape. The 18hole par 72 course is quite
challenging, but its wide fairways and large greens make it very fair
and enjoyable to play. It is not the cheapest course in Thailand, but
represents reasonable value. There is a big sports centre adjacent to
the modern clubhouse. |
