You've probably waited to take a golf holiday for years, and are so excited to finally plan one to Thailand. But the idea is often more exciting than the actual planning. There's just so much to think about to make sure your trip is truly unforgettable. Here are some ways to plan an unforgettable Thailand golf holiday… without the stress.

Choose Your Travel Locations

If you're interested in combining golf with a holiday, then you'll want to travel to locations that offer the best of both worlds – amazing golf courses and fantastic tourism opportunities. Do your research to identify locations that offer golf courses to your liking and start making your bookings. You'll find some of the best courses in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, and Koh Samui across Thailand. Not only can you explore every part of this magnificent country, but you can tee off at some exciting courses along the way.

Book Tee Time Ahead Of Time

You don't want to be disappointed at the last minute if you're unable to book in tee time because the course is booked out. It pays to book tee time at your desired golf courses ahead of time. You may want specific days and times so make sure you get all this booked in quickly.

Invest In A Good Golf Bag And Head Covers

When you travel between different parts of Thailand or even fly in from your home country, you want to do everything possible to make sure your golf clubs are completely damage-free. Investing in a good golf bag and head covers will help you do that. Golf headcovers protect clubs from nicks and scratches that may occur when they move around in your bag as you traverse Thailand's beautiful offerings on your holiday.

Planning your Thailand golf holiday in advance will help you avoid last-minute stresses. But just getting your trip in order can be tough on your own. An experienced golf operator can help you make the most out of your trip – so you not only get in some good games, but you're also able to see the best of the country's sights.

Never used one, simply call the club I want to play at.

Very true for local golfers but a lot harder and at times and not feasible for overseas visitors. By the way, often times the walk-in rate is higher than what you get booking through a tour operator.

Really......... If you have been playing you must have been booking so why would you suddenly book it online unless it was cheaper to do so?

We meant to say 'rewarded by the tour operator' in form of freebies such as golf umbrellas, ball-markers, golf shirts, or other items. 

With practically everything going online today, it's natural for golfing enthusiasts to do the same when booking a golf holiday. But online tee time sellers aren't all they're cracked up to be. At the end of the day, you want a golf operator who serves you and your golf holiday needs well. Here are some reasons to avoid online tee time sellers:

Lack Of Local Knowledge

Online tee time sellers don't have enough local knowledge, especially when it comes to certain upgrades or changes to golf courses. That's because they just make bookings without getting into the specifics of any changes at the course. This could end up hurting your golf experience on your holiday.

Exorbitant Booking Rates

One of the worst things about online sellers is the high price they charge golf courses, which then get passed on to customers. They end up directly cutting into profits and affecting golf course rates, which will ultimately push up your tee time prices.

Lack Of Personalization

When you're on a golf holiday, you want something tailored to your budget and tastes. That's because everyone is different and has a different expectation. For instance, you're probably keen on finding challenging courses, while someone else may be looking for lighter games. Online tee time sellers don't know or understand your needs, which means that they can't tailor your experience.

Inability To Reward Loyalty

If you've been playing at a particular golf course for years, you'll be rewarded for your loyalty. But an online tee time seller doesn't know you or how long you've played there, so you won't get any benefits from the golf course if you book via the Internet.

Choose a golf expert who fully understands what you want out of your holiday and helps you get it without any trouble. If you're planning a Thailand golf holiday, we'll find the right courses and help you play as many rounds as you want with a trip tailored to your expectations.

If you've decided to go on a golf holiday, you may want to consider an exotic location so you can enjoy the best of both worlds – world-class golf courses and stunning tourist attractions. Here are some tips to plan an amazing golf holiday in an exotic new location.

Plan Your Itinerary Ahead Of Time

If you want to make the most of your vacation, make sure you plan an itinerary that allows you to spend enough time at the golf course and sightseeing. An experienced golf tour operator can prepare a comprehensive itinerary to make sure you enjoy a few games at the most popular courses and take in the sights of the regions you visit on your trip.

Book Your Tee Time Before You Travel

Before traveling to any destination, you'll want to get tee times booked because popular golf courses tend to get booked up quickly. But when you don't have the time to do this on your own, it can be difficult getting to play in the courses you want. A golf holiday specialist can help make tee time bookings well before you travel so you don't have to do any of the work on your own.

Choose Different Challenge Levels

Since you intend to spend part of your golf holiday on the fairways, you'll ideally want to get to choose different challenge levels to mix it up. Some courses are more straightforward, while others offer greater challenges with rolling hills and waterways at play. It's always nice to choose different challenges when playing golf so you don't feel like the game is too monotonous. A knowledgeable golf holiday operator can help you select between different courses if you don't know much about the country you're visiting.

Golf holidays in exotic locations can be the perfect way for you to combine your much-loved sport with an exciting getaway. If you're planning a Thailand golf holiday, don't miss out on these incredible packages.

When you first book a Thailand golf holiday, you assume everything will go smoothly. But things may go wrong, unfortunately. Here they are:

You Miss Tee-Time Because Your Taxi Took The Wrong Route

You're in a new country so you obviously don't know how to get to a golf course. You rely on the taxi to get you there in the shortest possible time. But unfortunately, the taxi may not know the route (as most courses are in the country-side) and you end up missing your tee-time. One of the best ways to avoid this is to use a transfer service provided by a golf tour operator. If you've missed your tee-time, you need someone who can help work around changing your schedule immediately. An local golf operator can help!

The Golf Course Is Undergoing Maintenance

In order to keep up superb playing conditions, golf courses need to undergo maintenance. In most cases this maintenance is scheduled but not publicly announced. When booking through a well-connected golf tour operator, you can be rest assured that they will inform you of any planned maintenance and suggest alternative courses to ensure you have the best Thailand golf holiday experience possible - nobody wants to tee-off on a course that has just done coring greens.

You Need To Change Your Itinerary Because Of An Illness

You can get sick on the day you've planned a game and need to reschedule your visit to the golf course in Thailand. Are you going to make a few phone calls to change your dates and times when you can barely get out of bed? Probably not! The best way to make your life easier is to let a helpful golf operator do the work for you for a ready-made rescheduled itinerary in no time.

While you cannot avoid some mishaps completely, you can make the most of your holiday by choosing an experienced tour operator who can help you plan an unforgettable golf holiday and make quick changes when things go wrong. If you're looking at a Thailand golf holiday, check out these packages.

Best known for its pristine coastline and spectacular coral reefs, Thailand was previously not considered a premier destination for golfing fanatics. But all that has changed with the country now boasting world-class golf facilities sprinkled across different regions. If you decide to visit Thailand for your next golf holiday, you'll receive some invaluable paybacks. Check them out –

Tee Off At Some Of The Most Strategic Courses In The World

As a golf lover, you probably focus on strategy. Some Thailand golf courses are designed to test your mettle. Many courses come with challenging water features and tactically placed bunkers – requiring strategic golf play. The Alpine Golf and Sports Club in Bangkok is one of the top-rated courses and is renowned for its excellent hole steering, rolling fairways, and quick greens. Embracing its natural surroundings fringed by dense forestry to offer a challenging and enticing golf experience, Rajjaprabha Dam Golf Course in Koh Samui & Phuket features a spectacular layout for golfers to enjoy.

Experience World-Class Courses At A Fraction Of The Price

Thailand is well known for its value for money, and this extends to the Thailand golf experience too. The cost of playing in most of the Thailand golf courses is extremely attractive for golf enthusiasts. Plus when you consider the affordable cost of 4 or 5-star accommodation at budget prices and the amazing-value eating and shopping prices, you couldn't have chosen a better country to spend your golf holiday.

Enjoy A Game In Conducive Weather Conditions

Ever been frustrated with the weather ruining your planned game of golf? Maybe head over to Thailand and turn that frustration into genuine delight with the country offering golf courses all round the year. Most visitors like to come between November and February because it is generally drier with cool and comfortable temperatures. But golf can be played any time in Thailand with short bursts of rain and quick-drying courses making it easier for golfers to get more games in.

Thailand is abundantly blessed to have world-class golf courses designed by legends of the game. Find out more about your how you can plan a Thailand golf vacation.

Hi dclaryr, I agree with you - this is an excellent course if you are in the area. The clubhouse is modern, caddies and other staff were very friendly and the overall impression of the course was good - it's an interesting course particularly due to the fact that it has a boat in a small pond - in the middle of Khao Yai!

Welcome to book a tee-time with us (check our profile for a link), which will be less than the walk in rate.

Here are some photos I took a few months ago of the course:
