Pattaya Golf Courses

The choice of Pattaya golf courses makes the Eastern Seaboard area of Thailand a very popular destination for golf holidaymakers from around the world. With over 20 courses to choose from, Pattaya is one of the most diverse areas for playing golf in Thailand. Many Thai golfers from Bangkok reside here in their weekend homes. Several fine international restaurants from Bangkok also have sister operations in Pattaya. Sensing the demand for more upscale accommodations many international 5-star hotels have opened in Pattaya, thus providing lodging alternatives at every price point and standard of luxury. The resorts provide plenty of relaxation and allow all golfers to enjoy a golf holiday in Pattaya.

(fast greens & lots of variety; watch out for the monkeys!)
Bangpra initially built in 1958, was one of the first golf courses in the Pattaya area.

Bangpra was the first project as a purposely built golf facility to promote golf tourism in Thailand and today remains one of the more mature Pattaya golf courses.
