About
A upscale experience awaits at this top Schmidt-Curley designed course
Spread over 100 hectares of former marshland and rice paddies in Ayutthaya Province, Royal Bang Pa-In Golf Club is a top Schmidt-Curley design boasting some of the largest and fastest greens in Asia. Thanks to the use of the latest variety of Champion ultra-dwarf Bermuda grass, putting is a challenge, although the hard Paspalum fairways allow for good distance off the tee. Thick and sticky rough placing a premium on accuracy at this enjoyable course.
Royal Bang Pa-In offers many risk-reward holes, including the dogleg right opening hole where water flanks the whole right side, and a long carry is required to hit the fairway. The course features square tee boxes and rescue bunkers, large mounds flanking each hole, and many blind shots into bunker-protected greens.
The finishing holes on each nine are especially memorable, with the par-5 ninth requiring a long drive to have a chance of clearing the stream crossing the fairway around 100 yards from the green. The 18th requires an accurate drive to an elevated fairway and a second that carefully cuts the corner of the dogleg to leave yourself with a memorable approach into the final green.
The ultra-modern clubhouse at Royal Bang Pa-In features a large rock waterfall spanning the entire rear of the clubhouse, extensive locker rooms offering privacy with small opaque glass panes, and a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows with 360-degree course views.
Royal Bang Pa-In Golf Club is run like a private members club, with the amenities, service and food all first-class, making this a great choice for a day out on your next Bangkok golf holiday.
Reviews
Great course to play not too far from Bangkok.
Enjoyed playing the undulating course very much. The greens were good. Club house was very nice. Caddies were not experienced but were friendly and helpful.Quick round at Royal Bang Pa-in
Solo ball weekday, shortest ever round, 2:47 finish. Caddie was good, whisking me around the course as the other four balls were going at their own pace.Didnt know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.
I wasnt really sure what the standard of Royal Bang Pa-In was equivalent too and was smiling as soon as I arrived there. Clubhouse was neat and tidy and course was in great nick, even though greens looked to have been cored a few weeks prior. I would put it in between Thai Country and Thana City. The Pro Shop was probably a little bit light with variety but had the essentials. I played alone and the starter had the Caddy take me to the 3rd hole to start, this was great as i was able to get my round finished in about 2.5 hours. My caddy spoke a little English and was really good with her reads of the greens and course, it was a great fun day. I guess the only downfall would be the distance from Bangkok city and this would be dependent on where you stay. I struggled to get a Grab Taxi after the game and had to get the Proshop organise a taxi for me.Course Info
