This is a course where careful thought and skillful execution will be handsomely rewarded, making every round a memorable adventure.

This Kanchanaburi golf course is designed to engage golfers of all skill levels, offering five thoughtfully positioned sets of tees to ensure everyone can enjoy the challenge. While this course is designed to test even the most accomplished players, it's not just about the difficulty. For those seeking a strategic battle, the par-5 holes are particularly outstanding. Imagine the excitement of the 8th, a lengthy test with formidable bunkering and a stunning water feature, or the 12th, with its intriguing double fairway and a meandering creek that adds an element of risk and reward. The 17th, a par-4, will have you contemplating your approach shot to a truly memorable island green.

Beyond the exceptional golfing experience, Mission Hills Country Club offers a truly immersive journey into the natural splendor of Kanchanaburi.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be struck by the breathtaking panoramic views of the distant Burmese mountain ranges, a majestic backdrop that enhances every swing. The course, a testament to thoughtful design, features a prominent river that gracefully bisects the landscape, adding a serene natural element to the game.

Just a scenic 30-minute drive from Kanchanaburi town or a couple of hours from Bangkok, Grand Prix Golf Club offers an accessible yet remarkably picturesque escape for golfers seeking an unforgettable day on the fairways.

Prepare yourself for a strategic and rewarding golfing experience at Grand Prix Golf Club, where significant mounding and undulating fairways demand thoughtful shot-making. The course designers have masterfully incorporated split fairways on many holes, presenting golfers with a choice between a more daring, risk-reward approach or a gentler, more strategic path to the greens. The greens themselves are multi-tiered and present considerable breaks, requiring careful consideration of your club selection for each approach shot. Forgetting this crucial step could easily lead to frustrating 3-putts or worse, so keen observation and a touch of foresight will be your best allies. This engaging design ensures that every round at Grand Prix Golf Club is a fresh and stimulating challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

No visit to Grand Prix Golf Club is complete without experiencing our signature par-5 fifth hole. Stretching an impressive 557 yards, it stands as the longest on the course and is a true test of a golfer's prowess. Designed to harmoniously follow the natural contours of the land, this magnificent hole culminates in a large, elevated green that is artfully protected by water on three sides. Even three perfectly executed shots in succession don't guarantee a par here, highlighting the hole's challenging yet rewarding nature. Beyond the exceptional golf, our modern clubhouse and top-class resort facilities ensure your comfort and enjoyment. We are confident that Grand Prix Golf Club, a gem among Thailand's finest courses, promises a truly memorable golfing adventure for everyone golfing in Kanchanaburi.

Artitaya Golf & Resort Kanchanaburi, formerly known as Nichigo Golf Resort & Country Club, offers a truly unique golfing experience nestled along the serene banks of the River Kwai Yai. Prepare to be captivated by the dramatic beauty of this location, with jungle-clad, craggy hills forming a breathtaking backdrop to our expansive 27-hole layout. Each of our three distinct courses – the Lake, River, and Mountain – promises an unforgettable journey through mature, tree-lined fairways and a delightful array of shimmering water hazards. This is a place where nature's grandeur enhances every swing, inviting you to immerse yourself in a tranquil setting that feels a world away from the everyday hustle. We believe the natural splendor alone makes a visit worthwhile.

Our challenging 27 holes are thoughtfully spread across three nines: the Lake, River, and Mountain Courses, each offering its own personality and charm. The River Course, in particular, adds a touch of historical flair with its iconic "rope" bridge at the par-3 3rd hole, and a delightful replica of the “Bridge over the River Kwai” near the 6th green – a perfect spot for a memorable photo! While the River Course provides these unique sights, the Lake Course offers a classic parkland feel with its namesake lake on display, and the Mountain Course presents an undulating terrain that demands strategic play and rewards you with stunning panoramic views of the limestone hills. These courses are designed to provide both a test and a pleasure for golfers of all levels.

We understand that while the golfing itself is paramount, the overall experience matters greatly. Artitaya Golf & Resort Kanchanaburi has been a beloved destination for many years, and while some of our facilities may be simpler, the spirit of hospitality remains strong. We encourage you to bring your camera and soak in the stunning natural scenery and the charming course monuments scattered throughout. It's the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with friends and family, enjoying the natural beauty of Kanchanaburi. We invite you to come and experience the joy of golf in this picturesque setting, appreciating the surrounding sights as much as the game itself.

Royal Ratchaburi, a gem unveiled in 1994, offers an unparalleled golfing experience nestled within the breathtaking landscape of Kanchanaburi. This course masterfully blends natural beauty with strategic design, presenting golfers with a truly memorable round. The undulating terrain, characteristic of the region, provides stunning panoramic vistas of the distant Burmese mountain ranges, creating an aesthetically captivating backdrop for every shot. While the visual appeal is undeniable, do not underestimate the challenge; the hilly nature of the course ensures that each hole demands thoughtful consideration and precise execution. We believe this spectacular setting is precisely why discerning golfers choose to grace our fairways and test their skills against such magnificent scenery. It's a journey that promises both visual delight and a rewarding test of golf for all who visit.

Prepare to be impressed by the immaculate condition of our greens, consistently ranked among the finest in the Kanchanaburi area. At Royal Ratchaburi, the fairways artfully follow the natural contours of the hills, creating a dynamic playing experience that is largely up and down. The front nine offers a slightly more forgiving, wider fairway experience, while the back nine presents a more demanding challenge for those seeking to truly test their mettle. Be prepared for some exquisite yet short par-3 holes, where precision is paramount as you navigate shots over captivating deep canyons. These holes, in particular, are a testament to the thoughtful design that aims to provide a stimulating challenge for golfers of all skill levels, ensuring an engaging and rewarding game.

While our clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant, and practice facilities are thoughtfully designed to be functional and comfortable, the true allure of Royal Ratchaburi lies beyond the amenities. We are proud to be considered a hidden gem by locals and a premier destination in the River Kwai area. For those journeying between Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin, Royal Ratchaburi stands as an excellent and convenient stopover for a superb round of golf. A friendly local tip: keep an eye out for our resident troops of monkeys, particularly on the opening holes, who occasionally take an interest in well-struck balls. Embrace the adventure and the unique charm that makes our course an unforgettable experience.
