Located beside the Pattaya to Bangkok expressway No. 7, Khao Kheow is around 50 minutes from Pattaya, and around the same time from Suvanabhumi International airport. Locals, expats and golf vacationers alike thoroughly enjoy this peaceful country golf course.
As with many Pattaya and region courses, Khao Kheow which is built in a valley surrounded by two hills, benefits from strong breezes, especially in the afternoons….great to keep you cool!
All three nine hole courses at Khao Kheow Country Club are equally challenging. Courses B and C are located on the slightly lower sections of the land, while course A heads up towards the mountain ranges, giving you a bit more elevation.
It is unlikely that you will ever play a boring Pete Dye designed golf course anywhere in the world. Here in sunny Thailand, Dye and his company Dye Designs Inc have been involved in Subhapruek in Bangkok, and here at Khao Kheow Country Club near Pattaya.
As with most Pete Dye tracks he offers tough par 4’s (especially the closing holes) where you need to hit straight, a few tricky par 3’s, the subtle use of water hazards and, of course, the trademark railway sleepers (tires) in and around the bunkers.
Pete Dye is reputed to have never finished a golf course, and here they recently updated nine holes to improve the golf challenge. His courses may be open to play, they may host major championships, but he continually returns to these famous designs to fine-tune them.
Considerable work in recent times has also gone into making the 27-hole Khao Kheow Country Club a very fine, championship standard course. However these improvements did not affect the natural beauty of the courses, just fine-tuning them to make them even greater.
All three nine hole courses at Khao Kheow are equally challenging. Courses B and C are located on the slightly lower sections of the land, while course A heads up towards the mountain ranges, giving a bit more elevation.
Similar to the Dye’s TPC Sawgrass par 3, Khao Kheow’s signature par 3 seventieth is a similar challenge being an island green, with a breeze to contend with.
Not perhaps the most up to date facilities here, however the locker rooms are fine and their clubhouse restaurant overlooking the course serves great Thai cuisine, and is often busy. Book this Pattaya course now through Golf Orient or let us include it in a package for you and your group.
