Looking to play in Pattaya Golf

[Keen Golfer]

Hi I plan to go to Pattaya in Jan and would like to know where are the best courses and value for money.If anyone knows of an agency I can trust to book tee times and possible pick up service it would be much appreaciated.

hi. i have just returned from a month of golf in pattaya. i played with travellers rest golf society. they were so friendly and the courses were great. they get the golf at a super cheap price. they are at the ned kelly bar , soi lenkee.

I wouldn't use an agency to book your golfing experience. Better to go with a society from one of the many bars in and around the Soi Buakao/Soi Lenkee area as 'mailouis' did.

They all get good deals on green fees, and the members will all be full of useful advice.

The Sportsman Bar in Soi 13 is one of the best. http://sportsmanpub.com/golf-society/

Visit Pattaya Sports Club website and join when you get here. Great value for money and a fantastic intro to all the courses and societies. http://www.pattayasports.org/

If he waits until he gets there, he could be very limited with his tee times and courses. January is the peak season.

We've used Thaigerlinegolf.com a couple of times and they were fine with their transport and bookings service.

Amongst others, we played Emerald golf club in Jan. Whilst it was a tad cheaper than some of your big name courses, I'm not exaggerating when I say there were 8 groups waiting to tee off in front of us on the first tee. It was slow!

My advice, if you want to be guaranteed a tee time (especially if you're in Pattaya for a limited time), book ahead.

Another great place with the friendliest people is Lewinskis Sports Bar and Restaurant on Soi 13/3 near Beach Rd and close to Walking Street. They have vans that will take you from the Bar to the golf courses and back. They also play 6 days a week in High Season which not many others do. You can pick the days you play and where as they change each day. Look it up on Google. They also have an air conditioning in the Bar and very good food.

Reach out for Colin Davis a very nice guy and the arranger of golf trips.

If your staying in Jomtien go to Rich Man Poor Man Soi 9 for a great inexpensive golf trip to many local courses...

As a winter resident south of Jomtien, I would like to learn from this and widen my circle of friends and golf buddies, BUT

My experience based on seeing these guys at clubhouses or at the bars afterward really turns me off to joining the bar groups because of the drunks smoking cigarettes.

Any of these places have players walking instead of carts and not smoking?

Its not just smoking and drinking , some of these monsters use curse words and miss church sometimes !

And don't pass up a stop at the Butterfly Bar on the way back to town.

As with one of the other members who replied I also used Thiagerlinegolf.com a couple of times and they were good.

Not sure how many games you want to try and get in but my favorite courses are Siam Country Club and Laam Chabang. Only one I have played and not enjoyed was Pattaya Country Club and would recommend you give that one a miss.

I think PhillyBoy is on the right track to advise you to joint in with the Lewinskis sport bar, they play 6 day a week using all the good courses plus they get good deals on green fees, all you have to do is pick which day and where you want to play and just turn up at the bar for transport to the course.

Thanks for all the help.Hopefully I can catch up with some of you guys if your around Pattaya when I'm there.

Cheers
