sinonaut Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi, I will be in Bangkok with a friend in transit to Phuket on the 28th of this month, We only have time for an early morning round, Can someone tell me which course will be best suite for us to play? I'm keen on course condition, distance from center city via cab, and cost of play (I've budgeted 1500b for greens fee). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinonaut Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm surprised no one commented, some of you must play regularly in the BKK area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark5335 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Located nearby to the airport are Subhapruek and Thana City golf courses. Their mid-week green fees should suit your budget. It should be about a 20 min drive from the airport to get there. Also, you could try Muang Kaew and Lakewood, however green fees are a bit more expensive. All the above courses are situated off the Bangna Trad expressway. I haven't played any of the abovementioned courses over the past month, however, Subhapruek consistently receives good reviews from many golfers.

Ted Lawrence Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Try the Bangkok Golf Club, 45 minutes from Bangkok, is in great condition and is a beautiful course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silurian Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 There is a nice course about 40 minutes north of Bangkok near Autthaya called Rachakram Golf Club. The course has only been open for two years and the greens are in excellent condition. The green fee is around 800 Baht on the weekday. They also have a hotel right next to the club house if you want to play two days in a row. You can find more information if you Google "Rachakram Golf Club".

candoman89 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 UNICO and Krung Thep Krita. In my opinion better than the ones off Bang na trad and about 15 minutes by Cab. Not sure about the green fees at KTK but UNICO has aports days Mon, Tues, Thursday (green fee + caddy < 1,000 Bt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easybrz Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Appreciate the recommendations..Bangkok golf club and KTK looks worth trying . What's the best way to book tee times..any websites or companys that arrange and have deals? BTW if I wanted to go straight from the Intl airport to say Bangkok golf club what's the best way to arrange transport to it without getting ripped off...I guess this also applies if I stay in downtown and want to get to any golf club and back..heard that taxi drivers will not go by meter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
