Set in the southern foothills of Khao Yai, this scenic resort course is beautifully laid out over hills, streams, waterfalls and a profusion of trees, many of which are original.
The course has always been a good test of golf and it seems to get better as the years go by, with every hole presenting a slightly different challenge and, with one or two generous par 5’s and short 3’s, it’s also a lot of fun.

The 2nd 513 yards par 5 is short but delightfully tricky. A blind drive up a hill with a deep ravine and bunker left to catch the wayward hook, the second shot has to clear a small stream which should be simple enough, but the fairway narrows beyond it, so placement is crucial. Bunkers on both sides guard a nasty little green and even if you miss it, and the bunkers, the chip will not be easy as the ground to the right is often a bit bare, so don’t expect a good lie. The green itself is tricky, with lots of borrow, depending on the pin position. |

The 15th 352 yards par 4 is a short dog-leg right, not too difficult, just a nice-looking hole. The driving area takes you over water to a sloped landing area with a bunker and rough left and water opposite, which the fairway slopes towards. Consider a fairway wood off the tee to get in position and avoid the hazards. The second shot should not be too complicated, but beware of the bunkers, particularly the one on the left; if you go in, you are faced with a difficult shot with the water facing you and a downward sloping green. |

The 18th 389 yards par 4 is a dogleg right with a large lake right, and a bunker ahead just where the fairway narrows to catch the bigger hitters! It’s possible to flirt with the sand from the white tees and probably safe from the blues, so a driver should be okay. The approach demands an accurate iron, as water lurks right of the green and three well-placed bunkers guard the left; not nice to be in, as anything thinned out will probably go for a swim. A good shot is facing the green sloping away from you with plenty of borrow. |
