Lakewood Links Description:
(challenging course with 'sea monster' island greens)

Lakewood Links is the second course by the same owner in the Bang Na area of Bangkok. The course is one of the closest layouts to downtown Bangkok and is easily reached in 30 minutes by elevated expressway.  True to its name, the 18-hole, 7017-yard layout spreads over flat links land interspersed with sandy waste areas dunes and water. Add to this elevated tees, rolling fairways, and large undulating and multi-tiered putting surfaces, and you have challenging after challenging hole. Water comes into play on 16 holes and with many narrow fairways and elevated greens; low markers only best play Lakewood Links. High handicappers are better off playing the more straightforward sister course at Lakewood Golf & Country Club.

Lakewood Links is unique in that there are two signature holes. Both the par-3 hole #8 and #16 boast island greens in the shape of a crab and starfish, respectively. The cute course sayings are that crabs and starfish are hungry for balls. While this is no joke, a fair amount of shots end up in the water surrounding both holes.

Both the greens are next to one another in the middle of a large lake and are connected to the main course only by footpaths. The green shapes resemble sea creatures surrounded by sand and water. Even stranger, the two holes share a tee box! With ‘crab and starfish’ greens, these holes might better belong to an ocean course. This weird combination of two holes sharing tees and with greens shaped like sea creatures cannot be found anywhere else the world.

Another standout hole is the par-5 twelfth playing a whopping 647 yards. The longest of all par-5s, this dogleg right requires three perfectly hit balls to avoid trouble left, right, and center. This hole can easily blow up a good score, and a bogey is a good result for anyone here.

Lakewood Links is also open daily for night golf under floodlights and carts are compulsory. The clubhouse is rather small, but functional with restaurant, pro shop, and very nice locker rooms. Local Thai dishes at the coffee shop are best, but there are also ample international selections too.

All in all Lakewood Links is best for scratch golfers looking for the ultimate challenge in Bangkok.

    • We dealt with GolfAsian via their Australian representative, Prestige Golf Tours. Couldn't be happier with either of these companies, or recommend them highly enough. All of the transfers from airports, hotels and golf clubs went perfectly. Their staff were a dream to deal with. Their prices are very reasonable. From small things like free water on the bus each day, we just couldn't have been happier.

    • Recent trip to Phuket, everything organised by Golfasian, except flights. 3 courses in 3 days, all went without a hitch, from Pick up at Airport straight to the 1st course with plenty of time to spare till our Tee off thanks to their timely pick up and suggested Tee time. All on ground from then on went like clockwork, pick up at hotels, drop off at the courses and then back to the hotel. All the courses were expecting us and were well prepared, which made things extremely easy. Well organised, on time and stress free...what more can you wish for?

    • Just back from a 4 night trip to Phuket for 54 holes of golf, at Blue Canyon (Lakes Course), Laguna and Loch Palm. All fantastically organised (flights excluded) by Win. We started with 7 people went down to 5 and then back up to six, and then 1 departing a day early. All the changes were handled smoothly and with out complaint by the Golfasian team. From arrival to departure everything was smooth and on time. I've already recommended their services to another group looking for a trip later in the year. This group will be back again. Thank you to all involved.

    • Our recent trip to the Pattaya area for 6 rounds of golf was excellent, and went very smoothly. Golfasian's itinerary was well executed, and everything worked like clockwork. Their drivers were exceptional in their service, and would register us at the golf club while we went straight to the locker room or driving range.

      All this at very reasonable price levels makes Golfasian the number one choice for our group, and this is confirmed by us planning our golf holiday through Golfasian for the 8th year in a row.

      Thank you Ian Morgan, and see you guys next year.

    • This is our second golf holiday organised by Golfasian. First was a trip to Thailand and our latest Vietnam. We can not fault the services provided by Golfasian, from the first email enquiry to the itinerary provide. Watches could be set for the pick ups and all drivers were very friendly, standards of hotels were excellent. All courses we played in both Thailand and Vietnam were excellent and some quite challenging. We would highly recommend using Golfasian and we will definitely be using them again. Thank you for making such a stress free holiday from start to finish
