No course in the Chiang Mai market has hosted Thailand’s national professional tour more often than Gassan Legacy: Thailand’s national professional tour played it three seasons running, tightening the setup from par 72 to par 70 as it went. It is a...

Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club
Summit Green Valley is the Chiang Mai course you can play on the day you land. It sits 14 km north of the city on the Mae Rim road, one of the shortest transfers to a championship-length 18 in the north, and every hole is floodlit, so an evening round here is a normal...
Majestic Creek Country Club (Hua Hin)
Majestic Creek is the value play in Hua Hin golf: 27 holes, inland and unhurried. It sits roughly 20 km inland from the beach, in farm country under the hills that run up towards the Myanmar border, and it was laid out in 1993 by Dr Sukitti Klangvisai, the Thai...
Blue Canyon Country Club — Lakes Course (Phuket)
Almost everyone who lands in Phuket with clubs wants the Canyon Course — the Tiger Woods hole, the Johnnie Walker history, the green fee to match. The Blue Canyon Lakes Course is the other 18 at the same address, and for many visitors it is the better-judged round:...
Kantarat Golf Course (Don Mueang, Bangkok)
Kantarat is the strangest 18 holes in Thailand and possibly anywhere: a par 72 laid out on the strip of ground between the two parallel runways of Bangkok's Don Mueang airport, owned and run by the Royal Thai Air Force. Nobody plays it for the architecture. You play...
Siam Country Club Waterside Course (Pattaya)
Every golf trip to Pattaya eventually runs into Siam Country Club, and most itineraries stop at the famous Old Course and the dramatic Plantation. Siam Country Club Waterside, the estate's third course, is the one visiting golfers underrate: an IMG-designed 18 from...
Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club (Pattaya)
Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club is the quiet overachiever of Pattaya golf: a 27-hole Denis Griffiths design from 1993 that, after a thorough mid-2010s rebuild, spent four straight seasons hosting European Tour, Asian Tour and Ladies European Tour golf — including...
Thana City Golf Club (Bangkok)
Thana City Country Club — still searched for by most travelling golfers under its old name, Thana City Golf Club — fills an unusually practical niche in Bangkok golf. It is billed by the club, its on-site hotel and the major tour operators as the only course in...
Riverdale Golf Club (Bangkok)
Flat is the default condition of Bangkok golf. The city sits on a river delta with roughly the topography of a billiard table, which is what makes Riverdale Golf Club worth knowing about: a course half an hour or so north of the centre where the tees sit high, the...
Siam Country Club Plantation Course (Pattaya)
Siam Country Club Plantation is the bold modern sibling at Thailand's most storied golf club — 27 holes of Schmidt-Curley drama draped over the hills behind Pattaya, with long views to the Gulf of Thailand and some of the deepest bunkering in the country. Where the...
