Plutaluang Course - Pattaya - Do I Need To Book?

[Gsxrnz]

I was intending taking three friends for a round at Plutaluang Navy Course, south of Pattaya. Never played there before and info on the web is scarce. Does anybody know if I need to make a booking or if we turn up at 10am on a Sunday will we be able to play without being turned away or waiting too long? Thanks.

I played there yesterday, we'd booked for 10:00 a.m., arrived early and played at 09:30. Not busy and no holdups. But I'd say playing on Sunday of a holiday weekend might well be completely different, much better to book.

I generally play there at least once a month.

I have never had to book there, always turned up and got on the course.

Being owned by the navy you can sometimes get caught out with a tournament being played. It is 36 holes though so you will get on, just roll the dice on whether or not you will get stuck behind a pack of Thai Navy golfers enjoying their 8 hour round.

you should be lucky at the moment because high season has finished, they do tend to have a lot of mini buses turn up full of Koreans/Scandanavians in high season.

I would recommend the west and the north nines. They are the older of the 4 nines and is a better layout than south and east. If there is a tournament on, they always play on the north and west nines.

The course is good value for money and generally in nice condition.

Thanks for the info, we'll turn up and see what happens.
