Mountain Creek Golf Resort

Sadly this is a case of what was once a magnificent course that has sadly not been kept up to acceptable condition. We were the only golfers of the day & it is clear that this course simply does not get the traffic to allow proper maintenance of the course. The layout was actually really good & when this course was new it must have been a magnificent course. Unfortunately the conditions around the holes was poor with much overgrown grass & evidence of neglect. The greens were simply not acceptable with sandy patches (not maintenance), blights & long grass....to the point where putting was not true on some lines & we were forced to lift our balls onto decent lies to allow putting. Unfortunately my recommendation would be to remove this course from the list of courses you use for the region as I fear many golfers would be very disappointed with their golf & this level of golf does not represent the expectation coming to the area.

My right hand was stung by a bee at hole 7 Creek course. The caddie immediately applied some medicine to me and drove straight to the clubhouse to get help. I was in such pain I had no time to say thank to her. Well done caddie!. We played 1st 9 hole at Valley course and the other 2nd 9 hole at Creek course. Hopefully next time will come again to conquer this course.

After struggling with crowds of golfers sometimes on many courses in Thailand, this course is for those who like it different. Nature and peace with the feeling of playing alone, in the six days of staying there I didn't see many players on the course as well at the hotel or restaurant. I don't know why, but I think the main reason is, that this course is really off-road, far away from any "civilization". It's a mountainous course with 27 holes and not easy. Not hitting the fairway means deep rough, high grass, many areas with big stones. The course was very dry and hart, especially the greens, so the ball sometimes meets the point, but jumping outside. There is a not "very" big island green with about 120 m, but very small. You must have a special very high "skyshot" or a impressive backspin, otherwise the ball will roll away on the very fast green. There is also a signature hole with more than 550 yards, all impressive down with a wonderful view, but there are 3 "water hazards crossing the fairways. You need a very well-placed first shot to have a chance to make some "point". Many holes are going hillside, a cart should be used anyway. I lost some balls and the result was the worst of about 30 rounds on different courses in Thailand, though it might be better on a second round of this tricky course. There was a group of young South Koreans playing a fantastic golf with drives of more than 340 yards and aiming pars and birdies on every hole, but they are professionals ("pros") and staying there for 2 month over the South Korean winter. Mostly they start the "action" with an early round from 6.00 a.m, so the rest of the day may be it's your turn. Unfortunately, the restaurant at the clubhouse is by far not the best, but it has a big terrace with a wonderful view. And, as already mentioned, very quiet.

The course design is strange and weirdly complex. Fairways are poorly maintained, no yardage or sign board at any of the tee boxes. The club house is very dated and tired, poor facilities, towels are smelly barely any water in the faucets and restroom. Restaurant menu and service is very poor. Only saw one other group of 4 golfers on a Sunday. Speaks volumes of how this course would probably do well to just down their shutters permanently.

course was very dry and hard in my opinion / the caddies are ok but one of them was not good and she did not even clean the clubs and suddenly just ran to go somewhere
