Best Golf Courses in Bangkok

The recognized partner facilities

Black Hat Golf runs vacation schools, training and events at seven recognized partner facilities around Bangkok and Thailand. Each has its own character, and we match the venue to your program and level:

• Lotus Valley Golf Resort — championship layouts close to Bangkok and, per Golfasian’s 2013 profile, the long-time base of Tony Meechai’s teaching academy.

• Thana City Golf & Sports Club — an established championship track near Suvarnabhumi, popular with visiting golfers.

• Pattana Sports Resort — an eco-resort style venue with dedicated academy space and practice facilities.

• Phothalai Golf & Resort — tree-lined resort golf with a strong practice environment.

• Riverdale Golf Club — a modern links-style course with a friendly caddie culture.

• The Vintage Club — a mature, traditional layout in the Khao Yai direction.

• Royal Golf & Country Club — a classic private-style club close to the city.

Which course should you book?

If you are travelling, convenience matters: Thana City is close to Suvarnabhumi Airport, which makes it the easiest first or last round. If you want the academy experience, Lotus Valley — the base of Tony’s teaching programs — is the natural choice. If you are in a vacation golf school, you do not choose: the itinerary is built around your level, dates and preferred feel, and the team confirms the exact schedule with you.

What a golf day in Bangkok is like

A typical round includes a caddie (standard at Thai courses), a cart if you want one, and a pace of play that is gentle by Western standards. Mornings are the most comfortable in the hot season; afternoon tee times are the most common for visitors combining golf with the city.

If your goal is improvement as well as play, a vacation golf school pairs coaching at these facilities with on-course play — the lessons transfer directly to the course.

A note on pricing: green fees at Thai clubs vary widely by season, day of week and time of day. We cannot publish a meaningful list of current fees here; confirm with the club or with our team before booking.
