Siam Country Club

Siam Country Club

Chonburi

Very nearby the popular city of Pattaya, Siam Country Club was the first privately owned golf course in Thailand, built in 1970, before being renovated by Schmidt Curley in 2007.

There are now two 18-hole layouts at the club — the Old Course and the Plantation — both of which are well regarded, although the older course is the favourite.

The Old Course has wide and contoured greens with a multitude of landforms to wrestle with, including over 100 sand traps and plenty of trees. It’s has been home of the LPGA in Thailand since 2007.

The Plantation hosted the Honda LPGA in 2009 and is always very well maintained. It’s positioned some way from the Old Course, in the hills with a breeze to contend with.
