Thana City Country Club

Thana City Country Club Bangkok is located on Bangna-Trad Road, approximately 30–40 minutes from central Bangkok and around 15–20 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Its strategic location makes it one of the most accessible championship courses in the city, particularly for golfers arriving on international flights or combining Bangkok with other golf destinations in Thailand.

The course opened in 1993 and was designed by Greg Norman, bringing a distinct Australian-style influence to the layout. As one of Norman’s early signature courses in Asia, Thana City quickly established a reputation as a modern championship test with strong conditioning and international appeal.

The 18-hole, par 72 layout is set across relatively flat terrain, but clever shaping, well-positioned bunkering and extensive water hazards create a strategic and demanding round. Large lakes come into play on numerous holes, requiring accurate tee shots and thoughtful approach play. The greens are typically well maintained and subtly contoured, rewarding precision with the putter.

While challenging from the back tees, Thana City remains playable for a wide range of handicaps thanks to multiple tee options. The layout suits golfers who value accuracy and course management over sheer power, making it a strong choice for both leisure golfers and competitive groups.

Over the years, Thana City has hosted regional and professional events, further reinforcing its standing as one of Bangkok’s established championship venues.
