Thanont Golf View & Sport Club

Northeast Bangkok near Minburi

Thanont Golf View & Sport Club is situated on the outskirts of Bangkok and is one of the easier to reach golf courses coming from the Bangkok city center making it a good choice for those on a Bangkok golf holiday and not wanting to travel too far. The golf course is located not too far  Dream World and Safari World attractions, so accompanying non-golfers have a variety of things to do in the area should they want to join the golfers for a ride to the Thanont golf club.

The Thanont golf course was designed by accomplished American golf course architect Bob McFarland. Water and a large housing development surrounds the entire golf course and Thanont while basically flat has some very interesting hole layouts. There is challenge for the accomplished golfer as well as relief for the less skilled. This course will provide a fair and pleasurable round of golf to golfers of all abilities. Most holes require strategy on each shot to score well. Greens are smooth, but run very fast.

There are several notable holes including five with island greens. Holes 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, and the finish to the 18th are all played on separate islands.  This starting hole is a monster 463 yard par-4. A long and accurate tee shot is needed to have a par chance and avoid the out-of-bounds left and large bunker complex to the right. The approach shot requires a long iron or fairway wood to a fairly accessible green. The Bangkok golf course signature holes are the long par-4 9th and the par-5 18th.  At both holes players have to negotiate a huge lake which protects the green.

Both holes finish with the green directly below the clubhouse where a full range of facilities are available including 2 restaurants, an ample locker room, and pro shop.
