This classic northward route captures the ultimate evolution of Thailand, combining golf courses and taking you from its hyper-modern present deep into the roots of its most magnificent ancient empires.

Continuing into the historic heart of the country, you hit Sukhothai, the serene 13th-century cradle of Thai culture, where the best way to explore the massive, lotus-fringed reflection pools and majestic standing Buddhas is by bicycle.

Holes18 holes par 72 (7044 yards)
DesignerRonald M. Garl
Established1996
Location75 minutes from Bangkok center

Alpine Golf & Sports Club, located near Bangkok, stands out as a premier golfing destination in Asia. Designed by renowned architect Ronald Garl, this course has hosted prestigious events like the 2000 and 2004 Johnnie Walker Classic, where Tiger Woods claimed victory. The course is celebrated for its challenging layout, featuring fast greens and undulating fairways that demand precision and skill.

The course’s transformation from flat rice paddies to a dynamic parkland layout is remarkable, offering elevation changes more typical of courses in Hua Hin or Phuket. Water hazards and beach-style bunkers add to the strategic complexity, particularly on the par-3 3rd and 12th holes. Notably, the 7th and 11th holes present island greens, linked by a narrow land bridge, offering a unique challenge for golfers.

Alpine’s design encourages strategic play, with most greens sloping from back to front, rewarding well-placed shots while penalizing the errant ones. The lush vegetation and picturesque holes provide a visually stunning experience, enhancing the challenge and enjoyment of the game.

The clubhouse offers top-tier amenities, including well-appointed locker rooms and two excellent dining options: a coffee shop and a gourmet Chinese restaurant. For those planning a golf holiday in Bangkok, Alpine Golf & Sports Club promises an unforgettable experience that tests your skills and delights your senses.

Location1:15 from Sukhumvit and 45 minutes from riverside hotels

Nikanti Golf Club, nestled in the refreshing air of Nakhon Pathom province just west of Bangkok, offers a truly groundbreaking golfing experience, a departure from the norm for courses near the city. Designed by the esteemed Thai architect Piraporn Namatra of Golf East, this 18-hole gem unfolds across former rice paddies, presenting a landscape that is both serene and strategically captivating. What sets Nikanti apart immediately is its innovative routing. Instead of the conventional 9-and-9 layout, the course is thoughtfully designed as three distinct six-hole loops, all commencing and concluding at the magnificent main clubhouse. This unique structure, along with an equal distribution of par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes within each loop, ensures a diverse and engaging play for every golfer, regardless of skill level.

While the yardage from the back tees measures a manageable 6,789 yards, do not let that fool you; Nikanti Golf Club presents a significant challenge that even seasoned professionals will appreciate. The fairways, though generously wide, are artfully sculpted with undulations and elevation changes, meaning perfectly flat lies are a rare luxury. Many of the greens are beautifully contoured, requiring a delicate touch, and are strategically defended by intricate bunker complexes. Water hazards are cleverly integrated, particularly on the par-5s, adding another layer of strategic consideration. Unlike many Bangkok courses, Nikanti boasts notable elevation changes and prevailing winds that sweep through its valleys, demanding thoughtful club selection and rewarding accuracy over sheer power, whilst still offering opportunities to score well.

Beyond the extraordinary course design, Nikanti Golf Club extends a level of luxury and service rarely found on a public course. The modern clubhouse is replete with amenities usually reserved for private members’ clubs, including spacious locker rooms, gourmet dining, an observation deck offering stunning views, and a comfortable lounge area. The club prides itself on exceptional service, with carefully timed 15-minute tee intervals to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable pace of play. The all-inclusive, cashless policy, coupled with complimentary local beverages and two delicious meals per round, means your focus can remain solely on your game and the sheer enjoyment of this exceptional setting. Nikanti offers one of the finest golfing experiences in Thailand.
