Thailand Pattaya Golf Course Guide
Pattaya makes it easy to pair a beach or resort stay with championship golf. These 12 courses range from the prestigious Siam Country Club layouts to scenic 27- and 36-hole venues shaped by hills and lakes. Compare transfers, difficulty and playing style before choosing a tee time.
#1Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club (Pattaya)View course Popular Pattaya courses fall into several directions: the Siam Country Club area east of the city, Na Jomtien and Sattahip to the south, and Si Racha or Bang Phra to the north. Grouping courses in the same direction can reduce transfers and leave more time for the beach and dining after golf.
Prime tee times can sell out quickly during high season and weekends. Check transfers, caddie and cart inclusions, club rental and dress requirements on the product page, and allow extra preparation and traffic time for early starts.
We compared routes from beach and Na Jomtien hotels with courses toward Si Racha and Bang Phra.
The selection balances championship pedigree, elevation, water strategy and multi-course variety.
Choices cover premium golf, multi-round holidays and resort-style stay-and-play plans.
