Thana City Golf & Sports Club Bangkok

Thana City Golf & Sports Club is located just 25 minutes from downtown Bangkok and is one of only a handful of golf courses in Asia designed by The Great White Shark – the Australian Greg Norman.

The club has hosted several major professional tournaments, including the 1993 Thailand Open, 1994 and 1995 Kosaido Thailand Ladies Open and the final round of the Johnnie Walker Super Tour 1996, which was won by Ernie Els. As well as Els, world stars like Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, Ian Woosnam, Laura Davies and the Thai superstar Tongchai Jaidee have all played at Thana City.

Thana City golf course and clubhouse went through major improvements and renovations in 2010 and Thana City Golf course is now one of the most entertaining golf courses in Bangkok. The course offers a variety of challenges at every hole and golfers can expect to be challenged in all aspects of the game.

The golf course makes use of many local trees and flowering bushes. Different grass, reeds and lots of sand have been used to create the illusion of a links course in the middle of one of Bangkok’s major apartment areas. The enjoyment of its fantastic layout is enhanced by the natural streams, lakes and an abundance of strategically placed bunkers. Greens are fast and well-trimmed.

Good drainage makes sure the course is in good condition throughout the year.

Accurate drives are required on almost every hole to avoid the many fairway bunkers. Some good advice is to stay in the fairway because the rough and semi-rough parts are difficult to get out of.

Both front and back nine have long par 3 holes, especially 16th hole – a 220 meter long hole.

The course has a total of four island greens at the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 12th hole making the game interesting but also a bit scary.

In addition to an excellent golf course, Thana City Golf & Sports Club offers great facilities, a modern well-maintained clubhouse, a swimming pool, driving range, fitness facilities and a golf academy. The variety of products available in the pro-shop is amazing and you can often find good deals.

Thana City Golf & Sports Club offers an excellent golf experience. Thana City Golf is certainly one of the best golf courses in Bangkok.
