Thai Country Club is a polished championship parkland course east of Bangkok, built to USGA specifications by Denis Griffiths. Water, contoured fairways and exacting greens give the layout a refined but serious test, while the club is known for its high-level caddie and clubhouse service. It hosted the 1997 Asian Honda Classic, won by Tiger Woods.

Formerly Banyan Golf Club, Pineapple Valley is a hilltop championship layout on former pineapple fields south of Hua Hin. Pirapon Namatra used the rolling terrain to create elevated tees, water hazards and wide views toward the valley, mountains and Gulf of Thailand. Its short par-3 15th is the signature hole, playing toward Singtoh Island.

Laguna Golf Phuket is an 18-hole resort course inside the Laguna Phuket integrated destination, close to Bang Tao Beach. Originally designed by Max Wexler and substantially redesigned by Paul Jansen in 2014, the par-71 layout plays through lagoons, mature woodland and water-grass corridors. It is an easy fit for a Phuket stay because the surrounding Laguna hotels are connected by resort shuttle service.

What to Expect at Thailand

Why visit

Thailand is built for a golf trip that feels like several different vacations in one. Bangkok supplies world-class dining, city hotels and a serious opening round at Thai Country Club. Hua Hin slows the pace with beach-town character and elevated views at Pineapple Valley, while Phuket brings a resort finish at Laguna Golf Phuket. Private drivers make the transitions straightforward, and the mix of city, coast and resort golf works particularly well for couples and groups who want more than a run of similar courses.

Accommodations

Use a city hotel in Bangkok, a beachfront or town-base hotel in Hua Hin, and a Laguna Phuket resort stay for the Phuket leg. JEL can tailor the balance of golf, beach time and local experiences around the group's preferred pace.

Resort amenities

Thailand is a country-wide golf region rather than a single resort. Its trip infrastructure is the combination of Bangkok's hotels and restaurants, Hua Hin's beach-town stays and Phuket's full-service resort environment.

  • Private-driver transfers
  • Bangkok city hotels
  • Hua Hin beach stays
  • Laguna Phuket resort amenities
  • Clubhouse dining and caddie service
