Best Ocean Golf Club
About
This links-style 18-hole courses by the ocean is one of the toughest in Bangkok
Proudly touting itself as Bangkok's most formidable golf course, Best Ocean Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course expertly crafted by Schmidt and Curley. Nestled in proximity to the ocean, a mere 45-minute drive from downtown Bangkok, the course benefits from refreshing sea breezes that contribute to delightful playing conditions. Embracing a links-style design, this course is undeniably daunting and not for the faint of heart; the fairways often find themselves flanked by water on both sides, and the ocean gusts play a mischievous role in steering wayward shots toward further trouble. It's fair to say that this course is best suited to highly accomplished players.
Best Ocean's layout boasts tight fairways and raised greens, demanding well-executed drives and precise approach shots. Crafting a thoughtful strategy off the tee and maintaining composure during the approach can significantly impact one's score. Water is a constant companion, hugging every hole, and frequently flanking it from left to right. This course leaves little room for wayward drives; those who venture astray are well-advised to stock up on spare golf balls.
Undoubtedly, the crowning jewel of the course is the par-3 17th hole, a masterpiece that would fit seamlessly into the PGA tour. This 230-yard challenge crosses water to reach a broad yet shallow green, guarded diligently by expansive bunkers at its forefront.
While the pro shop, clubhouse, and practice facilities fulfill their roles adequately, the true allure here is unquestionably the golf course itself, and any golfer in Thailand owes it to themselves to experience this course at least once. Whether seeking enjoyment or seeking a formidable test, one thing is certain: bring an ample supply of extra golf balls.
