Siam Country Club Old Course
Overview
The Siam Country Club Old Course is one of the most famous and respected golf courses in Thailand. It’s located just outside of Pattaya and offers a great experience for golfers of all skill levels. Designed by I. Izumi in 1971, the course was updated later by Schmidt-Curley Design. The Old Course features parkland scenery along with modern improvements. With its spacious fairways and smartly placed bunkers, it is a must-play for anyone who loves golf and is visiting Thailand.
Course Layout
This 18-hole golf course is a par-72 and measures 7,162 yards from the championship tees. Golfers will find tree-lined fairways and greens that are well-guarded, along with some significant hills. The design of the course rewards players who are accurate rather than just powerful, since many doglegs and water hazards require careful shot placement. While the fairways are fairly wide, they are surrounded by thick rough and tall trees, which means it’s important to have good control over your shots.
Signature Holes
The 18th hole is a par-5 and is known as the signature hole. It is both stunning and challenging. This hole goes uphill towards the clubhouse, and the fairway gets narrower as you approach the green. There are also bunkers that guard the green, making club selection very important, especially if you’re aiming to reach it in two shots. Another great hole is the par-3 16th. This hole is beautiful and features a big pond that adds excitement and makes it a bit tricky to play.
Facilities
The Old Course has top-notch facilities. The clubhouse features locker rooms, a pro shop stocked with a wide range of gear, and scenic views of the golf course. After your game, you can enjoy Thai and international food at the restaurant, making it a great spot to relax. There are also practice areas, including a driving range and short game facilities, so you can work on your skills before you play.
Tournaments
The Siam Country Club Old Course is known for hosting many golf events, like the Honda LPGA Thailand. Because of this, it has gained a strong reputation as one of the best places for tournaments in Asia. Golfers, both professional and amateur, really enjoy playing here.
