On the road to Bangkok and the Suvanabhumi International Airport, the Khao Kheow 27-hole golf course is located in the center of the Pattaya golf corridor. The Khao Kheow Country Club, like many other courses on the Eastern Seaboard, is situated in a valley between two hills, with strong sea breezes blowing most afternoons. The course is relatively lengthy, and the elevation variations between holes provide a pleasant change of pace from the other, flatter courses in the area.
To handle not just the windy conditions, but also the numerous huge ponds, bunkers, and hills that surround the well-manicured fairways, meticulous shot making is required, as is typical of Pete Dye's designs. Because the greens are undulating, precision putting is essential for a good score. Khao Kheow Country Club stands out among the other Pattaya golf courses due to its concentration on green upkeep, which ensures excellent putting conditions all year.
There is something for everyone in this course. Both novices and professionals will feel as if they are playing at TPCC Sawgrass on the signature par-three seventeen, which plays to an island green. The opening 18 holes were built to be a championship course and were redone in 2013. The last nine holes are a bit easier, more akin to a resort course. For those who want to experience the variety of holes, elevations, and locations, playing all 27 holes is a wonderful alternative.
After their rounds, those who complete all 27 courses can unwind in the well-appointed clubhouse. Spring rolls, minced pork with basil, fried rice, and a variety of noodle soups are among the restaurant's offerings for Thai golfers.
Overall, Khao Kheow is one of the finest bargains of all Pattaya golf courses, ranking as one of the top Pattaya area courses, making it a superb choice for any Pattaya golf package. Carts are not required, which helps keep expenses down and gives all golfers the option of walking or riding.
