Lam Luk Ka Golf Club, Bangkok
There are more than fifty golf courses in the greater Bangkok area and, although most of them fill up at weekends, they are usually wide open during the week and need to keep their green fees low in order to compete.
We have chosen 10 golf courses which can all be played on a weekday for a green fee of US$50 or less. They are all excellent golf courses and in some cases offer a better golfing experience than some of the better-known golf courses in Bangkok.
1.Subhapruek Golf Club
Subhapruek Golf Club is a scenic Pete Dye–designed course near Bangkok, offering challenging water features, strategic layouts, and a well-maintained, enjoyable golfing experience for all levels.
Subhapruek Golf Club, Bangkok
Subhapruek Golf Club, located just outside Bangkok, is one of the region’s most enjoyable yet challenging courses, offering a beautifully balanced blend of strategic design, scenic surroundings, and excellent playability. Designed by the legendary Pete Dye, the course features a distinctly American-style layout with long, sweeping fairways, dramatic water hazards, and bold bunkering that requires both accuracy and thoughtful shot placement. The terrain is relatively flat, but the clever contouring, doglegs, and risk-and-reward opportunities ensure golfers of all levels will find plenty of interest throughout the round.
Water plays a major role on many holes, creating visually striking landscapes while testing decision making from tee to green. Players will appreciate the immaculate fairways, smooth greens, and well-maintained facilities, which together create a premium golfing experience without being overly intimidating. The signature finishing holes are particularly memorable, demanding precision and composure to score well.
In addition to the golf course itself, Subhapruek offers a friendly clubhouse atmosphere with modern amenities, comfortable locker rooms, and a welcoming restaurant serving Thai and international cuisine—perfect for relaxing after your round. The driving range and practice greens provide excellent warm-up opportunities, making it ideal for both casual visitors and more serious golfers looking to sharpen their game.

With its scenic beauty, thoughtful design, and professional service, it delivers a memorable round and represents one of the standout golfing experiences in the Bangkok area.
2. Krung Kavee Golf Club
Krung Kavee Golf Club is a classic, well-maintained Bangkok course known for its wide fairways, strategic water features, smooth greens, and relaxed championship-style golfing experience.
Krung Kavee Golf Club
Krung Kavee Golf Club, located near Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport, is one of the most established and well-regarded championship golf courses in the Bangkok region. Designed by the respected Japanese architect Manabu Sakamoto, the course is renowned for its wide fairways, strategic layout, and extensive water features that come into play on nearly every hole. Rather than relying on excessive difficulty, Krung Kavee challenges golfers with intelligent course design, rewarding accuracy, thoughtful course management, and confident putting on its large, well-contoured greens.
The course is beautifully maintained year-round, with lush fairways, excellent drainage, and smooth, true-rolling greens that make play enjoyable in all seasons. The setting is peaceful and picturesque, with mature trees, lakes, and natural landscaping creating a relaxing environment that feels comfortably removed from the busy city. While newer Bangkok courses may focus on dramatic visuals, Krung Kavee stands out for delivering a classic, honest, and thoroughly satisfying golfing experience that appeals to both experienced players and higher handicappers.
Facilities at Krung Kavee Golf Club are equally impressive. The clubhouse is spacious and welcoming, offering comfortable locker rooms, excellent service, and a quality restaurant serving a range of Thai and international dishes. The course also features good practice facilities, making it suitable for both leisure play and serious training. Conveniently located and supported by professional Thai hospitality, Krung Kavee Golf Club remains a favourite among locals, expatriates, and visiting golfers looking for a high-quality and enjoyable round in Bangkok.
3. Bangpoo Golf Club
A rare Arnold Palmer designed course and an excellent choice for budget conscious golfers
Bangpoo Golf & Sports Club
Bangpoo Golf & Sports Club is an excellent choice for the budget conscious player who is looking for an inexpensive round of golf in Bangkok. This course was designed by legendary golfer Arnold Palmer and being quite close to the Gulf of Siam it is often subject to the prevailing winds which will help to cool you down as you play your round. Arnold Palmer was not a prolific golf courses designer so this an opportunity to test your game against the only course in Bangkok which bears his name.
Despite the fact that it is close to the ocean there is actually not too much water on the course which makes it a fairly friendly course for higher handicappers. The main protection comes from the wind which often blows onshore making club selection a challenge. Plenty of mature trees and native plants make for a very enjoyable round.
It takes around one hour from the centre of the city almost due south and it can be a little tricky to find so you will need your Satnav!
4. Best Ocean Golf Club
Make sure you take plenty of balls if you take on challenge of one of the most difficult courses in Bangkok
Best Ocean Golf Club
Best Ocean Golf Club is a bit further outside the city and takes around 60 minutes from the Sukhumvit Road area. The famous design team of Schmidt and Curley have been very active in Thailand and they have moulded this links-style course into one of the most challenging golf courses in Bangkok. The course is made more difficult as you will also have to combat the prevailing winds which blow across the course from the nearby ocean from which the course gets part of its name. If you are a higher handicapper we suggest you select one of the forward tees as it’s very long from the blue tees and there are numerous water hazards which add to the difficulty.
The water hazards also have the effect of narrowing the landing areas which are also sprinkled with fairways bunkers and if that wasn’t enough the elevated greens are difficult to hold which means that your short game will be severely tested.
5. Ekachai Golf Club
Ekachai Golf Club offers a relaxed, value-for-money golfing experience near Bangkok, with 27 enjoyable holes, forgiving fairways, and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere suitable for all skill levels.
Ekachai Golf Club
Ekachai Golf Club is one of Bangkok’s more relaxed and enjoyable golfing venues, ideal for players looking for an accessible, friendly, and value-for-money golfing experience. Located southwest of the city, the course offers a peaceful environment surrounded by canals, mature trees, and scenic countryside, providing a welcome escape from the busier urban golf clubs. The layout features 27 holes, giving golfers a variety of combinations and plenty of interest across different rounds. Fairways are generally generous, making it forgiving for beginners, yet strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and subtle green undulations still provide enough challenge to keep experienced golfers engaged.
The course conditions are consistently good, with well-maintained fairways and greens that typically roll smoothly and at a comfortable pace. Ekachai is particularly well known for being playable year-round and for offering enjoyable, stress-free rounds without the pressure often found at more demanding championship layouts. It is a perfect choice for casual golfers, social groups, and holiday players who want to enjoy a relaxed day on the course rather than face overly punishing challenges.
Facilities at Ekachai Golf Club are practical and welcoming. The clubhouse is comfortable, with helpful staff, tidy locker rooms, and a restaurant serving tasty Thai cuisine at reasonable prices. The driving range and short-game practice areas are excellent for warming up or improving technique. With its friendly atmosphere, convenient location, affordable pricing, and easy-going style of play, Ekachai Golf Club remains a popular favourite among locals, expatriates, and visiting golfers seeking a fun and memorable golfing experience in Bangkok.
6. Lam Luk Ka Country Club
Avoid the crowds at this great value 36-hole layout in a beautiful natural setting
Lam Luk Ka Golf Club, Bangkok
Lam Luk Ka offers a real escape from the city because it is a bit further out than most other golf courses offering a more rural setting and you feel as though you are in the depths of the countryside. Depending on the traffic you can usually get here in around one hour. The two courses wind though the natural wetlands and have a very similar feel with plenty of mature trees lining the fairways with water a factor on almost every hole. It really doesn’t matter which combination you play which is just as well as they often close one nine for maintenance and create a composite course.
The East Course is marginally longer than the West Course and therefore feels a little more difficult. Despite the many trees and natural water features they keep the rough and semi-rough a reasonable length so that you usually have a shot if you get off line. One notable feature of Lam Luk Ka is the greens which are some of the best in Bangkok and are a joy to putt on.
Plenty of facilities around the rather ageing clubhouse including an oversized swimming pool, an excellent restaurant overlooking the 18th green on the East Course and some good practice facilities including a grass driving range and two short game practice areas.
7. Pinehurst Golf & Country Club
Premier golf oasis in the city, offering luxury, championship courses, and a serene escape.
Pinehurst Golf & Country Club, Bangkok
Pinehurst Golf & Country Club, situated in the heart of Bangkok, is a prestigious and exclusive haven for golf enthusiasts and those seeking a luxurious recreational escape. This world-class golf facility stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and sophistication, offering a serene oasis amid the bustling city.

8. Northern Rangsit Golf Club
Northern Rangsit Golf Club offers a relaxed, scenic, and good-value golfing experience near Bangkok, with forgiving fairways, strategic water features, and a friendly atmosphere suitable for all skill levels.
Northern Rangsit Golf Club, Bangkok
Northern Rangsit Golf Club is a popular golfing destination in the northern outskirts of Bangkok, offering a pleasant blend of playability, scenic surroundings, and good value. Set among natural waterways, tree-lined fairways, and expansive open spaces, the course delivers a peaceful environment that feels far removed from the city’s bustle. The layout is thoughtfully designed to be enjoyable for golfers of all abilities, featuring wide fairways that provide forgiveness off the tee while strategic bunkering, lakes, and occasional narrow approaches still demand accuracy and smart course management.
The greens are generally generous in size, with subtle slopes that reward confident putting and a good short game. Course maintenance is consistently reliable, with well-kept fairways and smooth greens, ensuring a comfortable round throughout the year. While it may not be the most punishing championship track in Bangkok, Northern Rangsit’s strength lies in its balance: it is challenging enough to keep experienced golfers engaged yet friendly enough for beginners and social golfers to enjoy without frustration.
Facilities at Northern Rangsit Golf Club complement the experience well. The clubhouse is welcoming and practical, offering clean locker rooms, attentive service, and a relaxed restaurant where players can unwind with Thai and international dishes after their round. Practice facilities, including driving range and putting greens, provide good warm-up opportunities. With its convenient location, reasonable pricing, and pleasant atmosphere, Northern Rangsit Golf Club attracts a loyal following of local players, expats, and visiting golfers seeking an enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable golfing day in Bangkok.
9. Windsor Park Golf Club
Three classic parkland nines and one other really challenging - slow greens make things easier
Windsor Park Golf Club
Another 26-hole layout, this course is a big favourite with Japanese and Korean golfers who are not renowned for their pace of play nor their application of golf etiquette so a round here can often be a bit slow, especially at weekends. The original three 9-hole courses (Garden, Palm & Lagoon) are quite similar with numerous dog-legs, heavily contoured fairways and the well-maintained greens which are kept deliberately slow in an effort to speed up play.
Lots of bunkers – especially on the 3rd hole of the Palm Course which has more bunkers on one hole than we have ever seen. You had better practice with your sand iron before you start your round. The Lakeside nine, which was built more recently than the others offers the most difficult challenge. As its name suggest it winds around a large lake and this lake comes into play on six of the nine holes. Particularly memorable is the third hole which is a par-5 with the lake protecting the entire left side with a green which extends into the lake which means that water fronts the green and makes the approach much more difficult.
The clubhouse facilities have seen better days and the upkeep of the courses are inconsistent but these are the only negatives on this popular course.
10. Uniland Golf & Resort
Fast and true greens are a feature of this 27-hole layout
Uniland Golf Resort
Uniland is a 27-hole layout located about 90 minutes due west of Bangkok and is a good course to play if you are on the way to Hua Hin as it does not take you too far out of your way. The three 9-hole layouts are known rather unoriginally as A, B & C – they obviously never got around to naming them.
Each of the courses offer quite a different challenge: The A course has plenty of trees and water hazards and our favourite hole is the seventh, which demands a 180 yard carry to a blind green with only the top of the flagstick visible. The B Course has even more water and most of the holes dogleg either right or left so it’s challenging to find the right position off the tee. Here you will find the signature fifth hole - a 641-yard beast. The C Course offers more of the same although it features more severe undulations and elevation changes. Fast and true greens are a feature of all three courses and one of their major selling points.
Excellent clubhouse facilities and modern changing rooms complete the picture of this little-known course in Bangkok.
