Siam Country Club, Bangkok

Located just 30 minutes south of Thailand’s capital, Siam Country Club Bangkok is the fifth addition to the prestigious Siam Country Club family. Designed by Toby Cobb, this championship 18-hole course stretches 7,250 yards, featuring Zoysia grass fairways and ultra-dwarf Bermuda grass greens. This course marks Cobb’s first solo project after his experience with Coore & Crenshaw and Tom Doak.

Siam Country Club Bangkok stands out among nearby courses with its unique design, blending a sparsely treed parkland course with links-style elements. The fairways are generously wide with gentle rolling slopes, while the elevated, expansive greens include catchment areas and well-designed bunkers. Native red grass and mounding frame many holes, and the short-cut semi-rough off the fairways ensures an enjoyable playing experience for all golfers.

With only four water holes, the course boasts distinct features uncommon in the area. Numerous small but strategically placed pot bunkers challenge players throughout. The 18 turtle-back greens, ranging from 425 to 1,000 sqm, demand precision with club selection and pin placements. Average golfers often aim for the center of the greens to avoid tricky runoffs and challenging chip shots.

The unique 18th hole, a 100-yard par-3 facing the clubhouse restaurant, features a large green that’s deceptively difficult to miss. A careless shot to the left can land in a deep pot bunker, offering a formidable test of skill. This unconventional finishing hole ensures a memorable end to any round at Siam Country Club Bangkok.

The modern 4,400 sqm clubhouse mirrors the high standards of other Siam Country Club Pattaya facilities, offering first-class changing rooms, a well-stocked pro shop, and an excellent restaurant specializing in Japanese cuisine. Well-trained caddies, many from nearby courses, enhance the experience.

While the club lacks a driving range, warm-up nets are available. Overall, Siam Country Club Bangkok provides an exceptional golfing experience and is a valuable addition to the renowned Siam Country Club brand.
