Bangkok Golf Club - solid course & layout with fast greens, host of 2003 Volvo Masters
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 is 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.
