Laem Chabang International Country Club – Jack Nicklaus Masterpiece in Pattaya

Widely regarded as one of the very best golf courses in Thailand, Laem Chabang International Country Club is a 27-hole championship layout designed by Jack Nicklaus. Spread across 700 acres of mountains, lakes and valleys, each of the three nine-hole loops offers its own character and challenges. For many visiting golfers, Laem Chabang is the highlight of a Pattaya golf holiday, and it also combines perfectly with Bangkok golf courses or a wider tour of golf in Thailand.

Why Play Laem Chabang?

• Designed by Jack Nicklaus – three distinct 9-hole loops
• Set in stunning natural surroundings of mountains, lakes and valleys
• Pristine fairways, fast greens and world-class caddies
• Nominated every year for “Thailand’s Best Golf Course” at the World Golf Awards
• First-class clubhouse with pro shop, restaurant and practice facilities

Course Layout and Highlights

The Mountain Nine challenges golfers with doglegs, bunkers and water carries – demanding both strategy and precision. The Lake Nine lives up to its name with water in play on seven holes, highlighted by a thrilling stretch from 6 to 8, each featuring forced carries. The Valley Nine is perhaps the most picturesque but also the toughest, with demanding long holes, island-style fairways and heavily bunkered greens.

A signature challenge comes at Valley Hole 4, rated the toughest on the property. A large fairway bunker sits in the landing zone, followed by a forced carry over water to a narrow sloping green – par here is an achievement. The long par-3 5th is equally memorable, surrounded by bunkers and framed by natural beauty, while the final hole of each loop offers a dramatic finish.

Facilities and Clubhouse

The facilities at Laem Chabang are top-tier, on par with Thailand’s leading private clubs. The clubhouse offers luxury locker rooms, a pro shop stocked with the latest equipment, and a spacious restaurant serving both Thai and international cuisine. Extensive practice areas include a large driving range and putting greens.
