Khao Kheow Country Club
Khao Kheow Country Club – Challenging 27-Hole Golf Course with Scenic Hill Valley Setting
Khao Kheow Country Club is strategically located in the heart of the Pattaya golf corridor, en route to Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi International Airport. This 27-hole golf facility offers a combination of par 72/36 over 7,077 yards, set in a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling hills, providing both length and elevation changes that add to the challenge for golfers of all levels.
Designed by the renowned Pete Dye, the course demands precision and strategic shot-making. Golfers must contend with prevailing winds, large ponds, thoughtfully placed bunkers, and natural mounds lining the fairways. The greens are small and undulating, emphasizing the importance of accurate putting to score well.
The course features three distinct nine-hole loops—A, B, and C—each presenting exciting and potentially card-wrecking holes. Notable features include the par-4 7th hole on the A Course, set against a rural backdrop with a dramatic water hazard spanning from tee to green and a narrow dogleg fairway, and the B Course which boasts one of Thailand’s finest island green par-3s reminiscent of the iconic TPC Sawgrass 17th.
Golfers can opt to play all 27 holes for an extensive experience of varied elevations, natural beauty, and diverse settings. The clubhouse is practical and comfortable, with the main restaurant overlooking the B Course and offering popular golfers’ dishes such as Thai spring rolls, minced pork with basil, fried rice, and a variety of noodle soups.
