AboutIGST International Golf Society Thailand
Comp game at The Vintage Golf Club a medium price range course, flat, above average water hazards, walk or kart
Reviewed by BC; on 30 Apr 2022 Very mature and flat tree-lined course, with a good mix of short & longer holes. Nothing fancy, just a regular design. The fairways were undergoing some maintenance, but they were playable, greens were very nice. Caddies were friendly with good course knowledge and spoke some English. The English-style clubhouse is big, very nice, and comfortable, with a good restaurant & locker room.
Venue to several Thai PGA and Thai LPGA events, the 18 holes golf course designed by a renowned US golf architect Arthur Hills. With pristine greens and rolling fairway, the course retain many of the natural surroundings.

Scroll down to see each Play-a-round Apart from golfing on the day, I attempt multitasking challenges (often means not a good golf score) No problem / “Mai Mee Pbun Haa” 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 Golf Contrasting day of weather conditions .. but that's the tropical climate this time of the year We started on the 10th with blue sky
