This is such a well designed course that it’s a favourite with many who play it regularly. The course meanders its way out and back on both nines such that you hardly ever see another hole other than the one you are playing, which gives the golfer the feeling that he is the only player on the course!
Set in a range of hills southwest of Ratchaburi Town, and not very far from the border with Myanmar, Dragon Hills is an excellent golf course and if, you’re going on a tour to either Kanchanaburi or Hua Hin, this one is well worth the detour. Few people are disappointed by the layout of the course and to get a good score will leave you well satisfied.

The 7th 380 yards par 4 is a challenging hole despite not being overly long. Bunkers left and right make a straight drive a useful start, but the shot to the green requires precision regardless of the pin position. The kidney shaped green has sand blocking most of the front, but it also has a ridge in the middle which means that it slopes left and right. A back right pin will test your iron play, so don’t be too greedy and just get it on the green. Par would be a good score. |

| The 17th 187 yards par 3 is a delightful test. At 187, or 193 yards off the blue tee, just hitting the green is a job well done. Mounds surround the rear and the sides create a bowl effect, while a nasty little bunker sits on the left. This is the prevailing slope of the green as well, so a few might trickle off into it. This is also one of Dragon’s toughest greens to putt on, as there are severe breaks on putts of all lengths. |  |
The 18th 410 yards par 4 can also bite you just when you don’t need it! The drive needs to carry a lake left, but bunkers right force a straight hit to a landing area. Balls tend to have little run on them, so a mid iron to the green is what normally awaits you. Beware the large bunker left of the green or, worse still, an unseen pot bunker lined with wooden planks on the right. If there’s nobody behind you, have a contest within your group to see who can get out of it in one shot. |

The club house facilities are adequate for what the club sets out to be. The rather cavernous changing rooms are dark but, let’s face it, you only want a shower and a change after the game. There’s an air-conditioned restaurant as well as a small open air balcony which overlooks the course.
Since the course is a long way out of town, obtaining and serving too extensive a selection may be a struggle, nevertheless there’s a great choice of tasty Thai favourites to choose from.
