PHUTALUANG GOLF CLUB

Built in 1968 by the Royal Thai Navy, Phutaluang Golf Club is one of Thailand's oldest and best layouts. With no professional designer to rely on, the builders relied on Mother Nature for its basic shape and it's none the worse for that. It really does blend in to the picturesque landscape, leaving scenic features at every turn. Some of the holes border a huge lake, which is a central feature, and many are undulating due to the hilly terrain.

This popular course is a favourite with Pattaya's local golfers and expats alike, the 27-hole, par-72 hilly layout demands physical and mental skills and accurate play.  A good test of golf set in a mature setting. The newly opened club house is one of the most luxurious in Thailand. For those who are visiting Pattaya on a golf holiday then Plutaluang Golf Club should definitely be on the itinerary as it offers classic golf in every sense, from the natural terrain to the ingeniously designed fairways and greens. There's also a modern and luxurious clubhouse, superb international restaurant serving Chinese, Thai and western dishes and driving range.
