The Emerald is a veritable work of art by two well-known golf architects, Nick Faldo and Desmond Muirhead. The 18-hole design weaves through the pristine rainforest of mature trees that still provide sanctuary to various native birds. The gentle yet beautiful contours of the fairways, the volcanic-like greens, challenging par-3’s, and the subtle water placements make the Emerald one of the most challenging golf courses in Thailand. Unlike many other Pattaya golf courses, driving accuracy is favored over length as there is a considerable premium when hitting the fairways.

The small container-type clubhouse and other facilities are not excessively luxurious but full of friendliness in the tradition of the Thai rural lifestyle. The open-air restaurant provides a pleasant ambiance after the game. While not as famous as other Pattaya golf courses, the excellent scenery, and reasonable green fees make the Emerald Golf Club a good choice for any Pattaya golfer.
