Thai Country Club

Thai Country Club Bangkok is one of Thailand’s most prestigious private golf clubs, located east of central Bangkok and around 20–30 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, depending on traffic.

Known for exceptional conditioning and service standards, the club is widely regarded as one of the premier championship golf courses in Bangkok and a consistent inclusion on high-end Thailand golf itineraries.

Opened in 1996 and designed by American architect Denis Griffiths, Thai Country Club was purpose-built to host elite professional tournaments while delivering a strategic yet fair test for visiting golfers.

The 18-hole, par 72 layout measures approximately 7,157 yards from the back tees and is characterised by gently undulating fairways, carefully positioned bunkers and water hazards that influence play across much of the course. Accuracy from the tee is key, with many holes rewarding positional play to set up approach shots into well-guarded, subtly contoured greens.

The club gained international recognition when it hosted the Asian Honda Classic in 1997, famously won by Tiger Woods during his early professional career. The event returned to Thai Country Club in 1998 and 1999, further cementing its status as a leading tournament venue in Asia.

Today, the course remains known for immaculate presentation, efficient pace of play and a refined private members’ environment that appeals particularly to low and mid-handicap golfers seeking a championship-level experience in Bangkok.
