-gone are the days of incessant traffic jams, sitting watching the pedestrians zoom-by. Sure, there are parts of town that are still highly congested at certain times of the day but overall, getting around Bangkok is a doddle nowadays,... And that is good news for visitors wishing to play a little golf during their stay in the capital and boy, is there some great golf on offer,....!

Let's start with the Thai Country Club. Venue of the Asian Honda Classic (won by a certain Mr. Woods) the Johnnie Walker Super tour (Vijay Singh) and twice for the Volvo Masters Asia, this Denis Griffiths layout is aesthetically beautiful and a real test of your golfing abilities! Small plaques dotted around the course mark spots where the famous have played some miraculous shots, inviting you to try and emulate them. The clubhouse facilities are also world standard with luxurious locker rooms and an elegant dining area, overlooking the course.

One of the latest additions to the golfing scene is Best Ocean, the only "Links-Style" course in Bangkok. Only a 40 minute transfer from downtown, it's not for the faint-hearted as narrow, sloping fairways, plenty of water and well-placed bunkers make for a tough round!
Highly recommended for the above average golfer!

A more leisurely and golfer-friendly club I personally enjoy playing is The Vintage. It's flat with generous fairways and the mature trees create a peaceful, parkland atmosphere that's perfect for the average golfer looking to enjoy their day and shoot a decent score.

Book Now and soon you can be wandering the fairways, totally unaware you are in Bangkok, Asia's most diverse and dynamic city...!
