The Royal Golf Country Club

The Royal Golf and Country Club is the closest 18-hole standard golf course to the Bangkoks Suvarnabhumi international airport. Specifically, the golf course is located off Bangkok Chonburi Motorway around 30 minutes from the main tourist and commercial areas of Bangkok or 5 minutes from the airport.

Chohei Miyasawa designed the Royal course to preserve the natural environment throughout and to give golfers a scenic, yet refreshing atmosphere in which to enjoy their game surrounded by many colorful flowers and shade trees. The layout features undulating fairways and tied greens on nearly every hole. Lots of unique and well-kept flower beds make this course particularly pretty with nice surrounding scenery, including excellent view of 2006 Thai prime ministers home and back yard: making a real Royal Golf experience.

Long par 3on the course are some of the most challenging in Bangkok, especially the 230 yard 17th, which is as difficult as they come. The 14th, a par 4 of 409 yards, requires two very long shots to reach the green in regulation. The next hole, a par 5, is famous for the narrow fairway and landing area, requiring three straight shots to avoid the water running down the left side of the hole. Hole 16, another tricky par 4, dubbed the " Mickey Mouse hole" because its sand bunker, resembles the famous Disney Character, has two imposing ears sticking out. The greens, in particular at Royal, are some of the best kept in Bangkok, and roll year round at over 10 on the stimpmeter.

Good practice facilities with putting green, pitching green, sand bunker, and grass driving range make Royal a good place for a pre-round warm up or practice session.

A spacious clubhouse is perfect after-match comforts, making a round at Royal a great way to spend a 5 hour layover in Bangkok.
