Lam Luk Ka Country Club

Lam Luk Ka Country Club offers an excellent 36-hole golf facility north of Bangkok. The two 18-hole courses at Lam Luk Ka are generally underutilized, so tee times are more accessible to book and green fees are lower than most other Bangkok golf courses.

Both courses meander through Bangkok wetlands, where over 10,000 trees and waterways provide homes to 100 of species of birds and wildlife. The strong parkland layouts blessed with more shade than many Bangkok golf courses and together with windy conditions are a welcome repute from Bangkok’s usually balmy weather.

In this natural, rural environment, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bangkok, four relatively similar nine-hole loops are interchangeably used on any given day. The Championship East Course comprises the A & B nines, the Resort West Course the C & D loops.

Though there is little to separate them regarding the quality of upkeep and presentation, which is always excellent, the East Course is longer than the West Course and be tougher as a result. Water hazards feature on just about every hole on both courses. As long as you can avoid the many lakes and ponds that flank the fairways and protect the greens, ball-finding from wayward shots should not be too difficult with semi-rough beyond the gently undulating and generally wide fairways.
