Two holes define the round here. The 13th plays to a full island green. The 17th is the harder ask, a 200-yard carry over water with pot bunkers in play. Pick a tee box one shorter than your ego suggests. The 7,240-yard professional layout sprawls across 2,000 rai with water around the perimeter, which makes club selection more important than raw distance.
Water frames the property here. The course covers 2,000 rai of landscaped terrain in Lat Krabang, ten minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport, and Chohei Miyazawa routed all eighteen holes inside a perimeter of lakes and canals. You feel it on the back nine.
Chohei Miyazawa, the Japanese architect with credits across Japan, Korea, and Guam, drew the course at 7,240 yards from the professional tee. The par-72 routing uses water on most approaches, and the back nine is where the design's intent really shows. Hole 13 plays to a full island green, the postcard shot of the property. Hole 17 is the closer's closer, a 200-yard carry over water with pot bunkers in play. Bail-out lines exist, but they cost you a stroke and most of your composure. The 13th is also a useful diagnostic on your own game that day. If you are striking your irons cleanly that morning, you commit and aim at the flag. If you are not, you pick the wide bail-out and write down a comfortable score. Move on with the round intact.
The clubhouse is sized for a full field. The dining room seats 200 with two private rooms set aside for groups, and the kitchen runs Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and European menus through the day. The men's locker room carries 250 lockers and sixteen showers, the women's carries fifty and five. The pro shop stocks Titleist, Ping, Callaway, XXIO, and Tourstage, so if you arrived without a particular wedge you can usually walk out with one.
Green fees run 3,500 baht on weekdays and 4,500 on weekends and holidays, with caddy at 400 baht and a cart at 850. The course is open 5:30 AM to 7:30 PM daily, which means a quick sunrise nine before a Suvarnabhumi flight is genuinely possible if your gear is at the door. Book by phone or email rather than walk-in. The course sits ten minutes off Motorway 7 Exit 5.
