Sai Golf Club

Bob Moore transformed once rice paddy field land into a linked-collection of 18 of the most playable holes anywhere. Sai is as visually stunning as it is a golfing challenge. The land and the surrounding environment are flattish. Still, within each hole, significant elevation and high-lipped bunkers feature. Greens are large and undulating, most having large humps running through the entire outing surface. Get on the wrong side of the hump, and a 3-putt or worse is almost guaranteed.

Many holes have raised greens with steep grass catchment areas or sand bunkers in play. Between holes, wood chips, and long wispy grass provide unique Scottish links feel. The final holes on each nine are standouts — both play towards the clubhouse with water flanking one side. A bowl-shaped green awaits well-struck shots, while a viewing amphitheater is well-positioned above, giving tournament spectators excellent viewing of both holes.

The clubhouse is ultra-modern but functional with traditional Thai colors, accents, lights, and shapes. Amenities are first-class and comparable to a 5-star resort. Well-trained and groomed caddies wind out the exemplary service at Sai Golf Club and add to the overall treatment found only ay Asia's best private clubs. Once open, Sai Golf Club is an immediate winner and will be a top-shelf experience for the discerning Thailand golf visitor.
