Mission Hills Golf Club Kanchanaburi – Jack Nicklaus Design by the River Kwai

Mission Hills Golf Club Kanchanaburi is one of three Mission Hills courses in Thailand designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus – the others being in Phuket and Khao Yai. Opened in 1991, the course sits just over 100 km west of Bangkok and is easily reached by car from both the capital and Kanchanaburi town. With its distinctive Nicklaus-style waste bunkers, challenging water hazards and scenic countryside backdrop, Mission Hills is a true test for golfers who enjoy strategy and precision.

Why Play Mission Hills Kanchanaburi?

• Designed by Jack Nicklaus – signature bunkers and elevated greens
• Set in peaceful countryside near the famous River Kwai
• Five tee boxes per hole – playable for all skill levels
• Split fairways on several holes offering multiple route options
• Signature holes include the long par-5 12th and par-4 17th with an island green

Course & Playing Experience

The course is laid out over gently sloping hills with lush palm trees and views of jungle-covered mountains. The par 5s are particularly memorable, surrounded by water and framed by the natural beauty of Kanchanaburi. Precision is key – approach shots must be well-judged to avoid deep bunkers and heavy rough. With split fairways on five holes, golfers can choose between safe or bold lines of play. Mission Hills rewards intelligent course management and provides a memorable, scenic experience for all who visit.

Facilities & Clubhouse

The wooden clubhouse features a restaurant, lounge, meeting rooms, gym, sauna, swimming pool and driving range. While accommodation on-site is limited, better options are available nearby in Kanchanaburi or along the river. We can arrange private transfers from your hotel or directly from Bangkok.
