Siam Country Club

Siam Country Club Pattaya is one of the most comprehensive golf complexes in Thailand, offering four distinct championship courses within the same estate.

Located just outside Pattaya, the venue attracts golfers from across the world and is frequently included in itineraries combining Bangkok golf holidays with golf on Thailand’s eastern seaboard.

The club first opened in 1971 with the Old Course, originally designed by I. Izumi. The course later underwent a major redesign by Schmidt-Curley Design, the architects responsible for the club’s three newer layouts – Plantation (2008), Waterside (2014) and Rolling Hills (2019).

Together these courses provide a varied and memorable golfing experience, each offering its own style of challenge.

The Old Course is the most traditional of the four layouts, with tree-lined fairways and a strategic parkland design. Plantation introduces elevation changes and expansive views across the surrounding countryside, while Waterside features a more open and playable design that is popular with visiting golfers. Rolling Hills is the newest addition and incorporates bold shaping, dramatic bunkering and several risk-and-reward holes.

Across all four courses, conditioning is consistently excellent with fast greens, well-positioned bunkers and water hazards influencing play on several holes. Multiple tee positions ensure the courses remain enjoyable for golfers of varying abilities, making Siam Country Club particularly well suited to groups visiting Thailand.

Siam Country Club is internationally recognised as the long-time host venue of the Honda LPGA Thailand on the Old Course, part of the LPGA Tour schedule. The venue has also hosted Asian Tour and other international professional tournaments, reinforcing its reputation as one of Thailand’s premier championship golf destinations.
