Bangkok golf courses
Rachakram Golf Club
Rachakram Golf Club in Bangkok is one for the long hitters looking for great value. A bit further out than some of the other golf courses in Bangkok but well worth the effort. Lots of water here which comes into play on all but 3 or 4 of the holes. Night golf also on offer.
The stranding in front of most greens means you can hit the ball all the way to the putt face, making this an ideal course for those who are tired of most other golf courses in the area designed for target golf. The course has a fairly open feel to it, as many of the trees are not yet fully mature, so it is currently fairly forgiving of field shots. This will change as the course matures, but for now if you can master the lightning-fast greens and avoid manicured bunkers and the occasional camouflaged water hazard, you should be able to score low, especially when you hit the ball. Only a par 3 doesn't require you to reach for a wood or even a rescue club, while a par 5 is pretty intimidating, especially when you're playing upwind, and Dustin Johnson's job is to get there in two steps. huge comparison.
More interesting is the second hole, which is a longer section 4 with a long, thin fairway with water to the fairway, then the entrance to the green, water hazards on three sides and several large Surrounded by bunkers. The 7th hole is a teeable par 4, but any misstep will find water on the left side of the fairway. The ninth hole is a monster par 5 with water pouring in from the tee and reappearing on the second shot.
You have to cross the water twice in ten days before you can reach the green surrounded by water on both sides. No. 19 is even more so, but this hole is not only a water hole, but also a sharp dogleg hole. The 18th hole is a great finishing hole that leads to another green surrounded by water and bunkers.
Being further from the city has the advantage of being less crowded than most Bangkok golf courses, so take advantage of cheap green fees and enjoy a quick and fun round at Rachakram Golf Club (even at night, it's a choose).
