NAKHONNAYOK


This challenging course is not recommended for beginners. The layout provides a variety of shots with the longer hitter definitely holding an advantage. Some shots are blind and there are several dog-leg holes. Water comes into play during the second nine holes and the par 5 thirteenth from the back tee is 626 yards. Water encroaches on the right flank and the lake must be carried to make the green. The greens are extremely tricky and it has been know for balls to roll off the putting surface! Guest house accommodations are available and the clubhouse service is friendly and courteous..

The course is set at the base of a mountain range on the fringes of Khao Yai National Park. This is undoubtedly one of the prettiest golf courses in Thailand. The fairways are lush on account of the stream flowing through the layout. Positional play therefore plays a big part at many holes, so accuracy brings its own reward. Fairways and greens are in immaculate condition, as are the tees. The clubhouse is a very attractive building overlooking the verdant fairways. Hotel accommodations are available, plus a sports complex and swimming pool.
