Navatanee Golf Club – Historic Championship Course in Bangkok

Navatanee Golf Club is one of the most storied Bangkok golf courses, just a short drive from downtown. Former host of the 1975 World Cup of Golf and the 1999 Thailand Open, this Robert Trent Jones Jr. design blends heritage, beauty and a compelling championship test. It fits perfectly into tailor-made Bangkok golf packages and pairs well with modern classics like Siam Country Club Bangkok or links-style Ballyshear Golf Links.

Navatanee’s allure lies in immaculate conditioning, strategic water hazards and classic shot values. The short par-4 5th demands precision with water tight to the left, while the signature 6th presents a bold split fairway: take on the huge carry left for a birdie look, or play safely right and face a demanding approach over water.

Why play Navatanee?

• Historic venue – World Cup of Golf (1975) & Thailand Open (1999)
• Iconic Robert Trent Jones Jr. design close to downtown
• Impeccable conditioning and brisk sub-4-hour rounds
• Classic risk-reward holes (notably 5 & 6)
• Private club ambience with efficient on-course service

Course & Playing Experience

Expect tree-lined fairways, penal but fair water carries and fast, true greens that reward confident putting. While the yardage isn’t extreme, Navatanee defends par with angles, smart bunkering and well-placed hazards. Visiting international golfers are welcome on weekdays; weekends are members-only. For a contrasting modern test, combine with Siam Country Club Bangkok or the retro-links challenge at Ballyshear Golf Links.

Facilities & Clubhouse

The clubhouse features renovated changing rooms, a quality pro shop and an excellent indoor/outdoor restaurant overlooking the 9th, serving standout Thai dishes with a good wine list. On-course kiosks keep you supplied throughout the round. Warm-ups are on the large putting green (no driving range).
