Siam Country Club

Siam Country Club Pattaya was the first privately owned golf club in Thailand, founded by the late Dr. Thaworn Phornprapha. Designed by I. Izumi, the construction of its Old Course has begun in the late September 1969 and was inaugurated in 1971. The Old Course boosts an 18 hole Championship course, and has hosted the Thailand Open four times together with many Asian Golf Circuits, and most recently after the renovation, becomes home of the LPGA in Thailand since 2007. The Old Course and clubhouse have been completely renovated in 2006 by Lee Schmidt of Schmidt-Curley Design Inc., and opened in March 2007. A sister golf course is also simultaneously built nearby with its own clubhouse, called Siam Country Club Pattaya Plantation. Bunkers are added for a modern esthetic look, feel and landscape. Seashore Paspalum is chosen for fairway grass, and Novotek for greens. Despite a new look, the Old Course remains a classic traditional tree line with many fond memories of the past. Classic, beauty, and challenge are what the Old Course is known for today in Thailand. Just like the golf course, the clubhouse also had a 100% complete refurbishment. Utilizing the old structure, modern comforts are added while maintaining a soft executive touch and feel. The restaurant, overlooking the 18th hole, enjoys spectacular view of the golf course, can host up to 180 guests, and is the best place to be at the end of the round. The guests will find the showers and locker rooms’ facilities to be as comfortable as their homes. Throughout the golf course, there are many kiosks and toilet stops that will assure the guests’ comfort.
Siam Country Club Plantation was simultaneously built at the same time during the renovation of Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course, and opened in April 2008. The Plantation is a 27-hole golf course and meant to have a clear distinction from the Old Course. Fairways, bunkers and greens are uniquely different from any other golf courses in Thailand. The routing sits high on rolling hills of the natural terrain meandering mountains and natural creeks with a panoramic view of Pattaya. Strong wind is one of the natural character and part of the challenge but the breeze makes the hottest day more pleasurable. A unique architectural “Bird Wings” clubhouse sets on top of the hills. Views of the golf course and its surround undulating terrain can be seen from almost every corner of the clubhouse. From the front balcony, view of the only “Triple Greens,” in Asia, 3 greens of 3 golf holes occupying almost 3,000 square meters is a memorable sight. Inside the clubhouse, ample space and modern style decorations of the locker rooms, restaurant, and pro-shop together with well trained staffs is second to none.
In May 2014, Siam Country Club launches a new golf course project in Thailand, Siam Country Club Waterside. The Waterside will feature Waterfront and Friendly golf course concepts, 18-hole, par 72, 7454 yards covering the area of 200 acres but will hold the same championship qualities of the successes of the Old Course (18-hole) and Plantation (27-hole) on the property next door, which are already renowned golf courses among the best in Asia Pacific. Strict environment cares, esthetic beauty, challenge and friendly play are the emphasis of the Waterside design with the absolute distinct differences from the famous Old Course and Plantation. Golfers will experience creation of design in harmony with nature. With many water-feature holes, Signature Hole will be a memorable one. Course design will be strategic with locations of lakes and creeks in play. The back tee will challenge the best. At the same time, the regular tee will offer enjoyment for all golfers. Let’s not forget the charm, well manner, and knowledgeable caddies of Siam Country Club who will make your day memorable. Much emphasis have been given to challenge golfers and, most important, happiness at the end of the day. Highlight of the Waterside will also include the clubhouse with 180 degree view of the beauty of the course, lakes, creeks and landscape blending with natural surroundings.
Getting there: Siam Country Club is conveniently located in Pong sub-district, Bang Lamung District of Chonburi Province, only 15 minutes drive south-east of Pattaya city and 75 minutes via motorway from Bangkok.
