A view from the clubhouse
　It is 27-hole British Style course. The landscaped beauty and lush turf are dotted with characteristic pot bunkers and patches of “native” lemon grass that require skill to escape from. Although the designers didn’t include much water in the course, they have more than made up for it with masses of sand and through clever use of reeds and heavy rough. However, you sometimes come across pot bunkers that cannot be seen from the hitting area and if you play here for the first time, you tend to get confused. If you think of this as a Scottish course, the unseen bunkers can give you some fun.

3rd　Par 4　412 yards　(1)
A little uphill dogleg to the right, a neat par 4. The bunkers in front of and on the right of the green are in play.

4th　 Par 5　567 yards

The fairway is tight and bunkers are strategically placed on both sides of it. The third shot is slightly downhill, so be careful not to hit over the green.

 

13th　 Par 5　550 yards
A par 5 with excellent views. The tee-shot is downhill and the second shot is up a gentle hill, a dogleg to the left. A creek crosses the fairway around 130 yards from the green.

　
18th　Par 4　383 yards

A slight dogleg to the left. The second shot is a little uphill.

　
19th hole

It takes 1 hour from Pattaya by car. It has 27 holes and is located relatively far from Pattaya, so it is easy to book on Saturdays and Sundays. Treasury Hill G&CC, and Chonburi Century CC are located neaby.

Although I played on Sunday, the total fees including the caddie were just around US$ 20. You can’t complain about poor course maintenance at this price.
