A Golfer’s Paradise
Pattaya has long been known as the paradise resort of the East. There are a wide range of world class golf courses within 40 Km. of the city. The quality is at top international standards and the prices are not.
Most of the courses are designed to championship standards by he world’s top names in golf architecture: Laem Chabang by Jack Nicklaus; Sriracha International by Gary Player and Rayong Green Valley by peter Thompson and Michael Wolveridge; Natural Park Hill and Natural Park Resort by Ronald Fream.
Playing in this delightful tropical climate all year round, the caddie lightens the load, and regular stops at the attractive watering holes encourage peak performance on the course. Afterwards the high standard of clubhouse facilities and services complete a memorable round of golf wherever you play. At every course you will be welcomed by friendly and courteous staff to remind you that you are in the Land of smiles and the Golf Paradise of the East.
Most golf courses in the area welcome visitors seven days a week although several are closed one day a week for maintenance. Check with Thai-Ger Line Golf shop or the Pattaya Sports Club. Caddie fees are extra and cost around 200 Baht. A minimum 100 Baht tip is recommended for the caddie at the ‘19th’ hole. Almost all clubs have luxurious clubhouses where full facilities are available. Always telephone first in case of special events and to book at weekends. Courses generally allow groups of 5 weekdays and 4 balls weekends. Golf carts are compulsory at some of the courses.
In all walks of Thai life it is considered bad manners to lose one’s temper. This also applies on the course.
Please note that only soft spikes are permissible on all of the courses on the Eastern Seaboard.
It is no exaggeration to claim that hardly any other resort in the world can offer so many courses of such high standard at such reasonable prices.
