The 7,085 yard Rose Garden Course owes its superb landscaping to its location within a resort cum recreational park renowned for its beautiful flower garden. The course sports fairly level terrain with obstacles provided by a few bunkers, hazards and doglegs.

The course is relatively easy for the front nine holes but thereafter you will have to prove your mettle on the back nine holes because of the narrow tree-lined fairways, demanding greens and scenic lakes which are magnets for errant balls.

After your game you can relax at the clubhouse where you are invited to use all the amenities. Also on offer within the Rose Garden grounds is a daily traditional village cultural show where you can relax while watching artists and elephants perform their magic.

Muang Kaew Golf Course is a true oasis conveniently located in downtown Bangkok. Completely redesigned in 2003 this 18-hole Par 72 course plays to a challenging championship length of 6,521 yards.

Lam Luk Ka Country Club

Lam Luk Ka Country Club designed by Rodger Packard and opened in 1994, is situated north east of the city. While it may be made up of two shaded 18-hole Par 72 courses perfectly suited for those hot and humid days, it's also blessed with lots of water, wide open fairways and big greens.

Lakewood Country Club

Lakewood Country Club situated just eighteen kilometres southeast of the city centre, is a J. Michael Poellet designed golf course that combines a breathtaking mix of native flora, imported turf and sculpted waterways. And Speaking of these waterways, you'll need nerves of steel to avoid the wet stuff, as twenty two of the challenging twenty seven holes feature water hazards. As a result of all the water, the course has probably more doglegs than any other course in Thailand. Other than that, it's possibly the perfect environment for golfers of all levels.

Legacy Golf Club

Legacy Golf Club designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1992, is an 18-hole, Par 72 course measuring 6,984 yards. With hazards such as the sandy waste and lake test tightly trimmed on most fairways, you are invited to tackle the course on your own terms. The Par 5 on the course's signature 6th hole is especially arduous but the Par 4 on the 14th hole is by far the toughest as it crosses a two-step lake and then on to a rolling green surrounded by sand.
