Where you'll play




Bangkok Golf Club is located only 35 minutes from the center of town and is one of a handful of golf courses in the area and built in the 1990s. The club was the site for numerous professional events including the Asian Tour's Volvo Masters in 2003. The golf course, however, succumbed to massive flooding in 2011 which required all greens to be re-built and many of the older tees to be cut down. As a result, a friendlier course re-emerged in 2012. Nowadays the golf course is managed by an experienced team and conditions are top-notch.
Around this Bangkok golf course are office blocks, a school, a Buddhist temple, some local housing and a bit of other industry, but it’s inside the high walls that the outside world melts away and a well-maintained and thoroughly exciting golf course awaits the visiting Bangkok golfer.
The course plays to a little over 6800 yards from the back tees. However, the distance is more than enough as there is plenty here to tempt and punish the overly complacent golfer. The relatively garden-like qualities may initially command attention, but after a double-bogey or two, the concentration will re-focus to the more immediate golfing tasks at hand.
A good score requires hitting narrow fairways and avoiding the water hazards that front several of the great par-3's. The best of the short holes is the par-3 11th, where the island turtle-back green requires good confidence to hit a strong tee shot over the water and carry the bunker blocking the front of the green. The 9th a double dogleg par-5 used to be one of the best 500 golf holes in the world, as published by Golf Magazine in 1991.
Best of all here are the superb quality greens - fast and undulating. Thankfully, the caddies are well versed in reading the many slopes and borrows that characterize the putting surfaces.
The clubhouse at Bangkok Golf Club offers traditional Thai massage, a well-stocked golf pro shop, locker rooms, and a choice of international and Japanese restaurants. The practice facilities include a putting green and dedicated chipping areas. Accommodations are also available for those who want an all-inclusive Bangkok golf resort holiday package. Bangkok Golf Club is floodlit for night golf and for golfers who prefer late afternoon tee times.




Grand Prix Golf Club invites you to experience a truly captivating golf journey nestled in Thailand's stunning Kanchanaburi Province. From the moment you arrive, you'll be struck by the breathtaking panoramic views of the distant Burmese mountain ranges, a majestic backdrop that enhances every swing. The course, a testament to thoughtful design, features a prominent river that gracefully bisects the landscape, adding a serene natural element to the game. You’ll also notice the unique automobile tie-in, with tasteful displays and banners acknowledging the course's valued auto company sponsors, creating a distinctive atmosphere. Just a scenic 30-minute drive from Kanchanaburi town or a couple of hours from Bangkok, Grand Prix Golf Club offers an accessible yet remarkably picturesque escape for golfers seeking an unforgettable day on the fairways.
Prepare yourself for a strategic and rewarding golfing experience at Grand Prix Golf Club, where significant mounding and undulating fairways demand thoughtful shot-making. The course designers have masterfully incorporated split fairways on many holes, presenting golfers with a choice between a more daring, risk-reward approach or a gentler, more strategic path to the greens. The greens themselves are multi-tiered and present considerable breaks, requiring careful consideration of your club selection for each approach shot. Forgetting this crucial step could easily lead to frustrating 3-putts or worse, so keen observation and a touch of foresight will be your best allies. This engaging design ensures that every round at Grand Prix Golf Club is a fresh and stimulating challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
No visit to Grand Prix Golf Club is complete without experiencing the signature par-5 fifth hole. Stretching an impressive 557 yards, it stands as the longest on the course and is a true test of a golfer's prowess. Designed to harmoniously follow the natural contours of the land, this magnificent hole culminates in a large, elevated green that is artfully protected by water on three sides. Even three perfectly executed shots in succession don't guarantee a par here, highlighting the hole's challenging yet rewarding nature. Beyond the exceptional golf, the modern clubhouse and top-class resort facilities ensure your comfort and enjoyment. Grand Prix Golf Club, a gem among Thailand's finest courses, promises a truly memorable golfing adventure for everyone golfing in Kanchanaburi.
