Wing 23 Golf Club

(9-hole municpal golf course)

Wing 23 Golf Club, operated by the Thai military, first brought the game to this part of North-Eastern Thailand in 1991. The short 9-hole layout is flat and fun for a day out, especially for less competitive golfers. Traditional courses require walking, and Wing 23 is no exception as golf carts are unavailable.
