A challenging double-dogleg with a sharp dogleg to the right
followed by a slight dogleg to the left. Water on both sides comes into
play and the left bunker is reachable off the tee. The OB line is just left
of the cart path, so an accurate second shot is needed. A long & huge
bunker running down the right side from 50 yards in front of the green to
the green, thus the fairway becomes quite narrower, making the second shot
for long hitters more difficult. The green is slightly elevated and double-tiered
with the higher back. |

An almost straight par 4. Off the tee, water runs down the
right side and right to left balls could easily become an OB on the left.
The narrow green is 50 yards deep with bankers on the left and water bordering
the entire right side of the green, so an accurate approach shot is needed. |
|
|
|
A straight hole. Pay attention to water and bunkers along the right off
the tee. The second shot is over water. The large green id double-tiered
and slopes steeply from back to front. |

An almost straight, challenging par 5. A river runs right
of the tee ground, then runs along left of the fairway, crosses the fairway,
runs again along the right side of the fairway, and finally runs through
the right side of the green. The left river comes into play off the tee
and the right river on the second shot that is over the river and a large
tree. Pay attention to a deep bunker protecting the front side of the green
and water on the left on the approach shot. The green slopes slightly from
front to back. |

A sharp dogleg to the left with a little over 90 degrees. Careful shot planning
is required off the tee as water runs along both sides of narrow landing
area. The second shot is over the water and needs to avoid the deep bunker
guarding the front right of the elevated green. The front half of the green
slopes strongly from back to front, and the back half slopes gently from
front to back. |
|
|
A par 3 over water. A wide green is protruded from the left into a lake
and slopes from left to right. |
|
|
A strong dogleg to the left, signature hole. Be careful of
water hazard on the left off the tee. Don’t attempt to cut the dogleg so
much as the water awaits beyond several sugar palms on the left. The second
shot is over a lily pond with numerous lotuses, which offers a picturesque
view. The front and left sides of the green faces the pond and the left
side is guarded by two bunkers. A relatively small green is triple-tiered.

It is an hour drive from Bangkok. Players can play freely
from the longest tees. The green fees are inexpensive in spite of the excellent
course, so the cost-performance is good.
