Green Fees

[los_omm 0]

Just wondering if anyone could give me a run down of the range of green fees one would expect to pay for golf in the Pattaya area. 9 holes, 18 holes, caddie, cart, etc... Planning a golf vacation this fall. Thanks.

For what you get, it's dirt cheap by US standards. For the equivalent of about $30 US you'll get your green fees, caddy fee and pay the tip for your caddy. Suggestion: go to the office of the Patataya Sports Club and get a membership; I think it's about 600B for a year. It may help you get some discounts at some courses in the area.

 

Almost all of the courses in the area can be found on the web, with a complete breakdown on the costs for each. In most cases, the caddy fee is 200B, maybe 300B on some courses. It is also expected that you tip the caddy the same amount. When I played Muang Ake in Bangkok in November last year, the caddy fee was 200B, but we tipped the girls 300B since we played a few extra holes after finishing 18, and it was a pretty hot day.

I believe Pheonix does a special on Tuesday and Thursday at Baht 600 for 18 holes and cart

Try a search for Shenanigans, Lewiinskis, or the Haven.

 

All organise golf events and get discounts from the courses.

 

You might also be in town in time for the Misty's charity event.

 

PM me if you need the URLs

During the week it is between 600 and 1200 Baht +buggy 500 baht +caddy 250 Baht average + caddy tip 200 to 300. Very cheap at this time ofthe year. Weekends far more expensive though.

Here are the current rates for Pattaya Golf Courses Pattaya Golf Rates

 

As Hilly says, prices are much higher from November onwards and the courses get very busy. If you are planning to visit in the fall, then these rates should still be good.

 

Please PM me if you want any contacts for golf partners.

 

Cheers

You've been told that weekends are more expensive, another thing is that a lot of courses allow up to 6 (yes, s i x ) players in a group at weekends. You DO NOT want to tee off behind 6 Koreans, with at least 6 buggies. Normal courtesy would be that they would allow you to play through if you're in a smaller, faster, group - won't happen.

 

I encountered just that the first time I golfed in Pattaya - fortunately not on the first round or I could have been put off for good. 7 hours it took, 7 hours.

LOL i have just replied to your post in the members section.But if your only going for a short time dont bother with the sports card unless your going to play a lot of golf, or buy the gold membership card if you plan on making future trips.

On the list of courses posted here check out the cheaper days in the far right section you can play khow keow and lam chabang cheaper than with a psc card on certain days and are the best two courses i have played.Good luck

Talking about courtesy.

 

In the mid eighties three of us got stuck behind and eight ball at Siam Country Club.

 

After taking an hour to play two holes and no sign of any courtesy being suggested one of our guys who was an ex-pat wandered up to them and asked politely if we could go through.

 

The Thai he was asking(they were all Thais) went over to his bag and unzipped a pocket. He pulled out a pistol and unloaded several shots into the ground around the expats feet.

 

Descretion being the better part of valour we all retreated to the club house and found the secretary to report the event. The secretary shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do. Then we left.

 

This was a one off for me and never had anything like it since but I am always cautious about asking Thais to go through nowadays. Normally if you are being held up then try to get past on the next watering hole that they stop at but usually the Thais are polite and play the game. Last game we were let through once and called to tee off at a par 3 by two sets of Thais. Japanese are exceptionally polite and so are most golfers. The problem with Thais is that they are often very slow and deliberate in their play and maybe this is just another example of not wanting to loose face. Some high handy cappers are painfully slow and have never learnt the ettiquette.
