Laem Chabang International Country Club - Approach

Laem Chabang Country Club is one of the best golf courses in Pattaya and also one of the best in Thailand. The course is is in pristine condition with lush fairways, fast and true putting greens, immaculate clubhouse and top-class caddies. A “must play” course and one you will not forget. Also offers night golf starting from 3.30pm which is very popular with Pattaya golfers.

The 27 Jack Nicklaus-designed holes, (named the Lake, Mountain and Valley nines after the terrain of each course) have been moulded to the natural landscape by one of the greatest designers. The Valley nine is probably the most difficult but that does not mean that the others are easier and whichever you play you need to get used to some long carries over water, sometimes thick rough , well-placed bunkers and very fast greens.

Our favourite course at Laem Chabang is the Valley nine and the second which is a monster par 5 has water everywhere and demands accuracy all the way to a green protected by a bunker along the right hand side. The 3^rd is the second most difficult with a demanding carry over water to another well-protected green with bunkers along the left. This nine does not give you any time to rest as the 4^th is the most difficult of any of the 27 holes at Laem Chabang Country Club – not that long but with bunkers protecting the fairway and a lake in front of the sloping green most golfers will be very relieved to escape with a par.

Then it’s on to one of the prettiest golf holes at any of the golf courses in Pattaya. The par 5, 5^th hole stretches to more than 200 yards with numerous bunkers – a very daunting prospect for any high handicapper.

Hole number 6 on the Lake course is a good example as even a good tee shot still leaves an approach shot of 150-160 metres over water to the green. The 9th is another very interesting challenge and most golfers will need 3 shots to reach the green as it is protected by rocky outcrops on both sides.

The 2nd hole on the Valley 9 offers some interesting choices – if you want to go for the green in two you have to flirt with the creek to allow for a shorter approach across water but if you play up then you can afford to keep away from this hazard

The pick of the Mountain holes is the 2nd which is a par 3 cross water which is longer if you decide to take on the flag and higher handicappers are advised to ignore the flag and play to the right side of the green.

Terrible

Reviewed by Carl ; on 05 Nov 2022

With the booked cart you were not allowed to drive on the fairway at all. Only on the paths. Then when the tee shot landed on the opposite spot of the fairway you had to constantly run very far from the path to the ball, hit and run all the way back. Dreadful. Recommend everyone to do without the cart. I was also lucky enough to be able to play the game with a very old, very overweight and extremely smelly caddy. It was horrible and I quit the game after a few holes.

The day was great but not the caddie

Reviewed by Nicholas N ; on 04 Nov 2022

The course was good. My caddie unfortunately fell way below my expectations , she should not be caddying alone as yet until she is more experienced. Her English was very limited, and her course knowledge was sub par (So to speak), I understand she is new, but on these occasions there needs to be a more experienced caddie because today my experience was not up to the standard I would expect..

Never Disappoints

Reviewed by George; on 13 Jul 2022

As always one of the best courses in the area, caddies were interactive and a lot of fun which make the day so much more enjoyable. Course was in excellent condition, unfortunately a few of the drink stops were not in action. Always enjoyable.
