Silky Oak shares a location with the St Andrews 2000 Golf Club and the Rayong Green Valley Country Club in Rayong, about 40 minutes from Pattaya and 2 hours from Bangkok. It's called after an Australian native tree that looks like a pine and is the principal tree planted across the golf course. The backside of the leaf is a silver gray tint that catches the light and looks nice in the breeze.
Silky Oak is a par-72 championship course. The 18 holes are based on 18 greens, but only 9 fairways, which makes it conceptually different from other courses. The greens are also extremely huge, and the shared fairways are extra-wide to accommodate holes that play in either direction. Unique green complexes and extremely undulating terrain, on the other hand, necessitate short game finesse to score well. The course's majority of holes feature panoramic views of the surrounding hills. The half-way houses perched on the crests of the hills offer even more spectacular views. Make a point of stopping here between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. to fully appreciate the area's enchantment.
Silky Oak's clubhouse and other amenities are adequate, but nothing spectacular when compared to the golf course.
