Lotus Valley Golf Club – Thailand’s Only Gary Player Design

Lotus Valley Golf Club is the only Gary Player–designed golf course in Thailand and one of just a handful in Asia. About an hour east of Bangkok, it fits perfectly into the Bangkok golf courses scene and combines easily with tailor-made Bangkok golf packages. Laid out in two nine-hole loops with water in play on most holes, this is a strategic, beautifully maintained course that delivers excellent value for money and a refreshingly quick pace of play. It’s also a great add-on to wider golf holidays in Thailand, with private transfers Bangkok to golf courses available on request.

Why play Lotus Valley?

• Thailand’s only Gary Player-designed golf course
• Championship conditioning and year-round playability
• Risk/reward decisions on almost every tee
• Quiet course with fast, smooth pace of play
• Modern clubhouse with Japanese Onsen baths

Course & playing experience

A 2009 renovation reshaped green complexes and upgraded irrigation, sharpening the visuals and consistency from tee to green. Player’s traditional, close-cut fairways and fringes encourage creative ground play and precise distance control. On the front nine, the par-3 3rd demands a full carry over water to a bunker-guarded green, while the 6th—often the toughest hole—runs water all down the left and squeezes the approach between two bunkers.

The back nine raises the stakes: 13 is a long par 4 with water tight to the left and a well-protected green; 17 is a brute of a par 3 with a vast bunker stretching tee-to-green; and the closing par 5 invites a bold two-shot attempt if you can thread the hazards. If you’re building a Bangkok lineup, pair Lotus Valley with contrasting tests like the all-inclusive Nikanti Golf Club or the water-laced elevation changes at Riverdale Golf Club.

Facilities & clubhouse

Expect a spacious clubhouse lobby, well-stocked pro shop and full locker rooms with Japanese Onsen baths. The Lotus Restaurant serves Thai, Japanese, Chinese and Western dishes—ideal for a relaxed post-round meal. The course’s relatively low traffic keeps rounds moving.
