With four distinctly different 9 hole courses (the fourth opened mid 2007), Lakeview is an excellent facility that helps make this region a prime draw for golfers. The desert course is unique in Thailand and is great fun to play. The older, more established, championship 18 holes is an interesting test of golf, laid out with just the right amount of water, bunkers and forest to keep the golfer’s concentration high.
Play the championship course in the morning, then sample one of the most interesting 9 holes of golf in Thailand. It certainly has the feel of a course in New Mexico or Arizona. Even the drinks stops have a desert feel about them!

The 3rd 392 yards par 4 on the Mountain Course looks quite innocuous at first sight but, with bunkers protecting the left and a stream 30 yards short, as well as a wickedly sloping green, you need to hit two good shots and leave your ball below the hole. Above or to either side of the cup will test your green reading ability. Don’t be surprised if there’s a hold-up on this hole, as the groups in front of you will probably have spent a little time 3 putting it. |

| The 10th 381 yards par 4 on the Lake Course, can be a beast. There’s a stream across the fairway just at the point most people would hit a drive, so 5 wood or 3 iron off the tee is sensible. However, this often leaves the sort of distance many people struggle with, the 170- 200 yards range, and the trouble doesn't end there. The green is narrow in the neck and both sides are protected by bunkers, the one on the right side being large and deep enough to cause some strife. |  |
The 16th 352 yards par 4 on the Lake Course is a nice easy hole if you get it right. Again, there’s water at driving distance, so take a 5 wood and then hit a mid iron to the green. The water runs both sides of the fairway on the second part of the hole and a nasty little bunker protects the right of the green, but two good shots will see you home. In a recent amateur tournament at this course, a 20 handicap golfer put his second in the water, dropped out for three and then sank his fourth from 160 yards out for an easy par net birdie. |
