They say golf is simply a matter of physics and vectors; well, you’ll need all that and more on this challenging championship layout set in forest covered hills overlooking Mae Nam.
Scenically, it’s a gem with fantastic views out into the Gulf of Thailand, but it’s such a hard walk that both caddies and golf carts are compulsory. The elevation changes on many holes play a significant part in the overall degree of difficulty and, combined with lots of palm and fir trees, cliffs and creeks, the course requires that you bring a fully functioning golf brain with you as well as a healthy stock of golf balls.

The 6th 149 yards par 3 drops over 130 feet downhill from the tee box and, although short, it’s mighty tight with a hill to the right, forest and the waterfall covering the left and the back of the green. With such a huge drop, club selection is all important with one or even two clubs less than normal being the smart decision. Being short and leaving a chip and a putt is far better than loading again from the tee if the ball sails into the forest due to an over hit shot. |

The 13th 376 yards par 4 has a creek in front of the tee boxes and another one roughly 100 yards from the green, asking you to hit to a landing area. Just standing on the tee looking at what lies ahead should get you thinking about this hole. With a hill running down the left and forest along the right, a bit of care and attention is required. The second shot is slightly back uphill, so choose the club carefully and hit it to the centre of the green to make par. Like everything here, straight is good. |

The 17th 597 yards par 5 and signature hole is the longest off the blue tees and 499 yards off the whites. The drive is almost blind, but needs to avoid the cliffs on the right of the fairway; the second needs to be a lay up. There’s a creek angling away from you right where a lay up would land, so you have a choice: risk trying to get over it or leave it short and face a longer third. A clover leaf shaped green with three protective bunkers makes this hole justifiably stroke index 2. |
