Nice Golf Course For Visitors?

[miltonbentley]

Golf is a sport requiring coordination, skill and timing - that's why I gave it up as a lost cause years ago.

However I have two visitors coming over in a week and they are very keen to play a couple of rounds.

Can anyone please recommend good, particularly scenic courses where a visitor may easily be able to play. Any extra information like booking procedures, dress codes etc would also be very welcomed.

Thank you

Lam Lukka A & B is nice, C & D is a more matured course (tough for me, need a chainsaw for the woods!) but scenic.

BangPakong Riverside golf course was rather forgiving, and plenty of coconut trees.

President Golf course is alright.

Panya Indra is a nice course, but it is a bit busier than the others and pricier as well.

Go to http://www.thaigolfer.com/ and at the bottom of the page and click on golf course review and browse around.

Cut off shorts are not allowed, polo shirts are acceptable (No Tee shirts). From what we have seen lately, the golf courses we go to are pretty empty, basically just drive up, drop off your bags, pay and go, all courses have clubs for rent.

I see you posted in the Chiang Mai forum, sorry, I don't have a clue about any courses up that way.

Hang Dong and Gymkhana are easy 9 holers

My pick: Green Valley and Chiang Mai Highlands.

All pretty quiet at the moment - you can call and book a tee time and ask about dress standards, and all will have golf clubs for hire and also golf shoes if necessary.

Chiang Mai Highlands is the best in my opinion. Maejo, The Royal and Alpine are also good courses.

The Stardome 9 hole course beside the moat is good, and fun to play under floodlights at night.
