About Managed by The Peninsula Hotels group, Thai Country Club is one of Thailand’s most prestigious golf courses. Nestled on the outskirts of Bangkok, this 18-hole course has impeccable greens, some of the best holes in Thailand, and an award-winning club house. Thai Country Club has hosted numerous international and domestic tournaments featuring the world’s best golfers. Thai Country Club is a prestigious member's course, has hosted PGA wins by Tiger Woods & Vijay Singh One of the best golf courses in Bangkok, Thai sets the standard for service excellence. Designed to USPGA standards by Denis Griffiths, the course opened in December 1996. The design adapts to everyday member use up to very tough challenges for major international and PGA tournaments. The 7,157-yard course was the venue for the 1997 Asian Honda Classic, where Tiger Woods cruised to a comfortable 10-stroke victory after shooting a final round of 68 for a 20 under-par total 268 for the championship. One year later, the second round of the 1998 Johnnie Walker Super Tour was also played in ideal conditions at Thai Country Club, won in style by Vijay Singh, who carded a magnificent score of 66 - two strokes ahead of Ernie Els and Jesper Parnevik. More recently, the Thai Country Club hosted the 2007 and 2008 Volvo Masters. The Thai golf course, as expected, is well-maintained year-round, features a great variety from hole to hole, and an abundance of water hazards and sand bunkers. With its immaculate presentation and conditioning, coupled with a robust and classic parkland layout, Thai Country Club regularly voted as a Top 5 course in Asia.

Another “rainy season” day in August, along the journey from Bangkok on the skyway there is evidence of rain fall in the distance but in the topics it changes so quickly On the day the photos and video shows brilliant blue sky as well as heavy cloud cover to insight rain .. but NO RAIN on the day To view the course hazards ... see link below under editorial section: Google map Satellite .. show you how to view the course / zoom in and measure distances Best practice ideal to arrive early and take in the beautiful clubhouse and Restaurant Start 22 players One person in the group is required to sign on to record live score for the group This means all scores are on a leaderboard for all to view and immediate results after the game and each player auto receives an email of their scorecard Groups start at 1st tee Photos courtesy khun Oh / IGST post https://www.facebook.com/IGST2/posts/5771764392863381 https://www.facebook.com/IGST2/posts/5771466072893213 Some (NOT all the starting groups appear below)     1st tee - water to clear, so many holes.. It’s exhausting but that’s ok we love it  Quite a few holes have seriously long water traps from the tee … you need to be focused The following photos are from our journey around the course, I snap 360 photos for a virtual tour and extract standard / Pano photos to used in virtual tour and google maps “Step Inside” which are shown in higher quality 2nd fairway  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Kiosk 4th tee par 3  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour 3rd green par 4  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole 6 water, more water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour 4th tee par 3 over water.. water water water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole S9 big distance and tight gap on par 5 over water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole S9 Green  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour 2nd nine Hole W1 par 5 over water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole W2 Par 4 - huge distance to clear water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour The Caddy is indicating … “Good Luck”  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole W7 tee more water  Extracted from 360 in virtual tour Hole W 9 over around and over water   Extracted from 360 in virtual tour The finish - W9 Green We were all beaten by this course but we are happy as we decided much earlier “to accept defeat / have a few beers and laughs with the caddies - the day was good company memories   We will be back and do better  The course has serious high frequency of water To gain insight to the hazards, try the satellite view options in the virtual tour page (link in editorial). You can zoom in and measure the course on the desktop (it's also possible with mobile phone but a little tricky) Outcome For the group generally Weather was, in the main, perfect all day Course in excellent condition Speed of play was good Food, drinks and clubhouse hospitality was high quality Quite a few stayed for the presentation (during covid this was discouraged and members needed to leave immediately after the game).

Scroll down to see each Photos / videos: very dependant on weather conditions and the vibe of the player group If the weather is threatening rain / high humidity then its poor depth of field (low quality) If the player group is not known or strictly golf then we avoid photo contact Phill (Lucky) Smith  Play-a-round Apart from golfing on the day, I attempt multitasking challenges (which often means not a good golf score) No problem / “Mai Mee Pbun Haa” Today .. the golfing My caddy today Khun Maew, lovely lady and now friends on “line” (a popular Thai social media platform) Tip payment to caddy is between 300 to 500 baht is the benchmark The weather today started with brilliant blue sky - awesome for photos During the game the weather moved to tropics with likelihood of rain and then back to nice sunny day so this means lots of photos and videos .. horah About the course Massive clubhouse Night golf facilities 27 holes University just up the road so they have lots of caddies students that double as caddies No recall experiencing a course with sooooo much water, not just lots but also hidden as well as in your face (depth off the tee) From the golf perspective - well beaten by the course and I genuinely look forward to a re match. I also like to try the night golf, they have accommodation so you could do a sleep over and include a day and night game. 360 pics: Google mapping - Step Inside Images are uploaded to google maps to … same same Street View but when the images go beyond the road it's called “step Inside” into places, to allow anyone on the net to engage Virtual tour / Step Inside Today 75 x 360 photos taken on the day (already captured the clubhouse on previous visit) Extremely hard to take so many photos and play golf but it was a sunny yday so try, in some instances I can capture 360 video and extract 360 images from the video, otherwise the general rule is no more than 4 holes..
