Pattaya Songkran Golf Guide
Songkran in Pattaya runs later than elsewhere: Wan Lai, on April 17-19 and sometimes to the 20th, turns Beach Road into a water-fight zone. April is also the hottest month, with highs of 35 to 40 degrees, so the easiest order is a dawn round followed by an afternoon on Beach Road. This guide arranges 6 courses with known restaurant opening times, range hours and distances from central Pattaya around a dawn tee-off and the Wan Lai schedule.

Compare courses for your Wan Lai schedule by restaurant opening time, recovery facilities and distance from central Pattaya rather than a fixed ranking.
Pattaya Golf
Best forA dawn round, a massage to recover, then Wan Lai
Rayong Green Valley Country Club opens its restaurant at 05:30, so breakfast and rehydration fit a tee-off before sunrise. The clubhouse massage runs 10:30-22:30 (last start 20:00), which suits easing out after the round and heading to Pattaya in the evening to join Wan Lai. It is a 7,022-yard par 72 and the range is open 06:00-15:00. A golf bag is mandatory.

Pattaya Golf
Best forA morning round on an undulating course, then Beach Road in the afternoon
Eastern Star Country Club & Resort is a 7,134-yard par 72 designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr in 1992. Its undulating fairways and water hazards blend together and ask for more strategy with each round. It lies in Rayong south of Pattaya, 50 minutes from the centre, with a restaurant open 06:00-18:00, a range and a storage room. Carts become compulsory for five-player groups on both weekdays and weekends.

Pattaya Golf
Best forA relaxed mid-morning start rather than a pre-dawn one
Mountain Shadow Golf Club is a 6,722-yard par 72 designed by Ronald Fream in 1993, about 55 km and 70 minutes from central Pattaya. The restaurant opens 07:00-15:00 Sunday to Thursday and 07:00-18:00 on Friday and Saturday, and there is a massage facility for winding down after the round. Weekend-morning tee times need two or more players, and golf shoes and umbrellas can be rented. Teams starting very early should arrange breakfast ahead.

Pattaya Golf
Best forParties of three or more who want the earliest finish
Pleasant Valley Golf & Country Club opens its restaurant at 05:30 and sits in Sri Racha, 45 km and 50 minutes from central Pattaya. Most holes run beside water, so club selection needs some care. The notes say bookings are confirmed when a team has three or more players, so gather the numbers first, and carts become compulsory for five players. There is no separate sports-day rate.

Pattaya Golf
Best forGolfers who want a dawn warm-up and a demanding course
Treasure Hill Golf Club opens its range at 06:00, so you can warm up before a dawn tee-off, and its 7,264-yard par 72 is on the demanding side. The 16th is a long crocodile-shaped dog-leg. It is 50 km, about 50 minutes, from central Pattaya, which makes the afternoon Beach Road arrival easy to calculate, and lockers and a storage room hold your bags. Carts are booked as part of the package only.

Pattaya Golf
Best forTeeing off without a warm-up and finishing before the heat
Pattavia Century Golf Club is a 6,892-yard par 72 in Ban Bueng, Chonburi, designed by Robert Macfarland and opened in 1996. The restaurant opens at 06:00 and there is no driving range, which suits a team that tees off right on arrival. Pattaya is 50 minutes away, so a morning round followed by an afternoon move to Beach Road is comfortable. Six-player groups are listed for weekday afternoons and weekends.

Pattaya's Songkran centres on Wan Lai, April 17-19 and sometimes the 20th, which makes it easy to plan the order of the day. With highs of 35 to 40 degrees, a tee-off around 06:00, a finish within the morning and an afternoon in the Beach Road water zone is the easiest on your stamina.
The earliest starts are at courses whose restaurants open at 05:30. Rayong Green Valley and Pleasant Valley open then, and Treasure Hill's range starts at 06:00. Mountain Shadow's restaurant opens at 07:00, which suits a relaxed mid-morning tee-off.
Check where you can freshen up after the round. Rayong Green Valley's massage runs until 22:30, Mountain Shadow has a massage facility and Treasure Hill's lockers hold your bags, so it is easy to freshen up before moving on.
The distance to Pattaya sets when you reach Wan Lai. Pleasant Valley and Eastern Star are 50 minutes from Pattaya and Mountain Shadow 70, so add festival traffic to the finish time when you set your Beach Road arrival.
Before booking, check the earliest tee-off time, Pleasant Valley's three-player confirmation condition, how many players trigger a compulsory cart, and weekend-morning minimums. Prices and open tee times can change during Wan Lai, so rely on the current product page.
Finishing before the midday heat means aiming for a tee-off around 06:00. A restaurant opening at 05:30 makes breakfast and rehydration easy, while one that opens at 07:00 needs some preparation.
Wan Lai commonly builds on Beach Road from the afternoon. The courses are 45 to 70 minutes from central Pattaya, so work out the finish time along with festival-week traffic.
After a hot-season round, a place with a shower, massage and meal protects your energy before you join. Check the clubhouse massage hours and locker availability for each course.
Compulsory carts, five- and six-player rules, weekend-morning minimums and three-player confirmation conditions differ by course. Settle your group size against the weekday of your Songkran dates first.
