Barcelona Valley Golf Club, Valley Course (former Rayong Green Valley)

Set among rolling hills near the Gulf of Thailand, Barcelona Valley Golf Club, Valley Course is one of the most picturesque and famous golf courses in Pattaya. Located some 45 minutes from central Pattaya, the Peter Thomson designed parkland course is mature, well-kept, and reasonably priced.

The layout at Valley Course features an inspired design that makes full use of the original plan to create an enjoyable and testing round of golf for players at every level.

Barcelona Valley Golf Club, Valley Course plays on the side of a hill and thus takes its many features from the large rocky outcrops, boulders, cactus, and other native fauna that feature in the local terrain. Bunkers have been used very intelligently, inviting an excellent golfer to drive over them while shorter hitters have plenty of room to a layup. Valley Course is one of Pattaya’s best walking courses as the undulating fairways in this peaceful setting allows those who prefer the exercise to enjoy golf at its best. The greens slightly elevated and vary from large to small – all with subtle undulations.

The Barcelona Valley Golf Club, Valley Course complex also incorporates a large clubhouse with three different restaurants. The German restaurant is especially good, especially for those who like a cold beer after their round.  A housing estate, condominium, and small golf resort overlook the course.
