Designed by the esteemed Thai architect Piraporn Namatra of Golf East, this 18-hole gem unfolds across former rice paddies, presenting a landscape that is both serene and strategically captivating. What sets Nikanti apart immediately is its innovative routing. Instead of the conventional 9-and-9 layout, the course is thoughtfully designed as three distinct six-hole loops, all commencing and concluding at the magnificent main clubhouse. This unique structure, along with an equal distribution of par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes within each loop, ensures a diverse and engaging play for every golfer, regardless of skill level.
While the yardage from the back tees measures a manageable 6,850 yards, do not let that fool you; Nikanti Golf Club presents a significant challenge that even seasoned professionals will appreciate.

Many of the greens are beautifully contoured, requiring a delicate touch, and are strategically defended by intricate bunker complexes.
