When Pete Dye designed this golf course, it was known as the Bangna Country Club, but is now called Subhapruek Golf Club. The course location is very natural, with only the tall white tower, golden domes and spires of the nearby Assumption University visible above the tree-lined perimeter.
Although constructed out of flat marshy rice fields, Dye has laid out a visually exciting and challenging layout that has grown into one of Bangkok most beautiful golf courses. Palm tree lined fairways with shaped bunkers, significant water hazards, and mature stands of trees describe this Bangkok golf course. Well maintained year round, the quality of golf matches the excellence of the layout.
A pleasant breeze is often present, and this course gives precisely the challenges seen. At just over 6800 yards this course presents a terrific challenge to golfers of all levels. The back tees are more than long enough as the real goal is finding and staying on the fairways.
Water comes into play on almost every hole at Subhapreuk. The layout is not a course for hookers or slicers, and long hitting is not the name of the game either. A shorter, controlled game will prevail over a long, errant one. The fairways often look narrow from the tee-box but open up nicely around the landing areas.
