best course

[seabass 0]

Im coming to pattaya for the first time on my bill in January.

 

I want to play golf whilst out there, and having done my research, found the Pete Dye course at Khao Kheuw. Having seen loads of his courses on TV, I would really like to try it one, and the prices seemed quite reasonable by english standards.

 

Is this the case, whats it like, how far away is it etc, as I cant find much info apart from the basic description

We just played the Catz Open there. Can't recall what nine we played first but after four holes I had amassed the grand total of THREE stableford points and thought it was the toughest course in Thailand -- OB left, water right. Then things got a bit better.

 

Many holes here are all about placement, hit 3 or 5 iron off the tee and play it safe.

 

Don't know if it's the best course in the area but by the end of the day I was luving it.

 

Laem Chabang also gets great reviews and is tougher with more water than fairways, or so I found it...

I also have to say, while not as nice as KK or LC, gold old SCC which is very close to Pattaya is a good option since they speeded up the greens.

 

My info is old (last year) but liked being able to hop out quickly for good fair test of golf, greens used to be too slow. Like also that I can usually break 90 as I have played it enough.

Thanks for the pointers

I like that sort of strategic golf that is quite testing, so it seems ideal. Mainly cos Im quite in terms of golf and it helps my scores.

 

Seems brilliant in terms of cost, but perhaps Im used to English prices.

 

Does anyone know what club hire you get for 300 baht.

 

Also, anyone else fancy a round there in January.
