Why golf in Thailand?

Siam Country Club, Pattaya

Very simply, there are some great courses to fit every standard and every budget. It is compulsory to have a caddie, most of which are pretty knowledgeable about the courses they work on which can help keep your score down. The clubhouses on most courses have pretty good facilities including bars and restaurants that cater fro most tastes. More often than not, they have a driving range and a practice green or two.

Thailand of course has much more to offer as well, so combined with a nice hotel on or near the beach, some fantastic food and no shortage of entertainment.

The area of Thailand with the best selection and numbers of courses is around Pattaya which is a 150 kms south of its capital Bangkok. Bangkok itself has many courses, but mainly for the locals and visiting businessmen. Hua Hin, Chiang Mai & Phuket also have some good courses, but talking to most of the golfers I know, Pattaya still offers fantastic value and over 20 golf courses.

Image Golf has been organising daily packages for tourists, as well as fully inclusive packages for one golfer to groups of 70 for periods ranging from weekends to month long trips. Hotels are always carefully picked depending on requirements and budgets, and as we always get feedback from our golfers, we ensure we send our golfers to the suitable courses at the time.
