Siam Country Club, Old Course Description:
(Thai home of the US LPGA)

Siam Country Club Old Course is one of the more famous Thailand golf courses.  Originally designed by Japanese architect Ichisuke Izumi, Siam Country Club was just the country's second course when it opened in 1970. In those days, heavily contoured greens, large overhanging trees, and gentle bunkering characterized the course.

The Old Course was closed in 2006-2007 for a complete renovation by Americans  Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley. The original routing was, for the most part, kept intact, while all aspects of the course were modernized and brought up to international championship levels. Upgrades to the original out-and-back parallel holes included curved fairways, new water hazards, high lipped bunkers, and relocated greens. New greenside bunker complexes added the legendary Siam undulating putting surfaces.

Since reopening in 2007, the golf course has hosted several international golf tournaments including the being the home of the US LPGA, Honda Classic from 2010 onwards.  In 2018, Siam CC Old Course was recognized for its excellent when it was voted 73rd best golf course in the world by USA Golf Digest magazine.

The 7,162 yard, par-72 Old Course at Siam Country Club is set in the low hills just a few kilometers from Pattaya and contains more than its fair share of mature trees, shrubs and plants. Various flowering and fruit trees on the course give one the impression of being in an arboretum or orchard, especially when in season. The abundant 'wildlife' in the form of sculptured bushes and hedges are a feature unique to Siam Country Club.

The course has an out and back layout with many of the golf holes playing past a series of lakes and strategically placed creeks. Long, straight driving is required to negotiate the larger fairway bunker complexes. Left or right shots are punished by large trees at Siam Country Club flanking every fairway. The large greens at Siam Country Club Old Course roll fast, are excellently maintained, and extremely undulated. The many breaks favor the assistance of an experienced caddie to read properly. As expected, the entire course maintenance is at championship levels year round.

A large golden Buddha is watching over the course which can be seen clearest from the all uphill 9th hole. The Siam Old Course boasts many dramatic challenges, particularly the last four holes which are Siam’s answer to Amen Corner. The 15th through 18th holes taken together could arguably be the best finishing holes of any Pattaya golf course. If you're having a good day and scoring well, take care as these four holes could easily bring you back to earth and ruin a good score. The final hole, a par-5, in particular, is tempting to try to reach in 2. However, many a golfer has walked off with a bogey or worse as the closer you get to the green the more difficult the hole becomes.

The clubhouse is still the original structure dated from the 1970’s with major facelifts on the insides to brighten up the facilities. It sits up high and overlooks the Old Course and valley beyond. Permanently mounted binoculars help bring the distant farms and other golf courses in the area into close view.

The Siam Country Club, Old Course itself is one of the best in Asia and should be on every golfer's bucket list of courses to play.

"A bit wet when we played it , luck of the draw I suppose "
Robin T. (2022-09-11)
"Home to the Honda LPGA Thailand I had to watch it on TV, and so remember several holes when we teed off. By the way, the Old Course is very popular and is one of the busiest courses around so don't be late for your tee time here.
Loved the opening par 5 and certainly, they left the best to last as their 18th green has some serious elevations. Perhaps one of the most iconic final holes on TV and you start to realise how good these LPGA stars rally are. Make sure you add this to the top of your list. Exceptional."

"The best course in Pattaya, and by a wide margin. Watch out for the greens. Balls roll off very easily."
Nick (2013-05-02)
"Simply the best course in the Pattaya area, perfectly manicured fairways and fast undulating greens. Caddies are a god send at reading the lines. facilities are excellent, played every year on our annual golf trip"

    • Just back from great 3 week trip with Golfasian, visiting Hua Hin, Bangkok and Pattaya. Golf Asian arranged everything from arrival at Bangkok airport to departure. All we had to do was turn up, play golf and have fun. Every transfer, hotel and golf course went smoothly. Every golfer should experience golf in Thailand. Golfasian highly recommended.

    • Golfasian organised a trip for 8 golfers to the Pattaya area of Thailand in November. The planning and organisation prior to he trip was great and we were kept up to date at all times. The staff and drivers during our trip were excellent and I would recommend Golfasian to anyone considering a South East Asian golf trip.

    • Niki at GolfAsian Thailand put together our golf itinerary on extremely short notice and every part of the experience was efficient and smooth. From organizing the itinerary, managing payments, being picked up at the hotel by fantastic drivers (Sombat and Rocky in Hua Hin are great!), picked up after our round in a timely manner...all of it was fantastic! I recommend you email or call Golfasian directly because my first encounter with them through their online chat was absolutely awful. But I gave them a second chance and Niki came to our rescue. We couldn't be happier and will definitely use GA again!
