The playing experience
Position matters on a tree-framed hole. Choose the side of the fairway that opens the next shot, rather than aiming only for the longest drive. A relaxed warm-up and a sensible tee choice help a mixed-ability group enjoy the layout at a steady pace.
Burapha Golf Club sits in rolling countryside near the Chonburi–Pattaya Highway, roughly 30 minutes from central Pattaya. Designed by architect Gary Panks with input from touring professional David Graham, the club was built to evoke the atmosphere of America's classic country clubs — and delivers 36 holes across four nines (A, B, C, and D) that can be combined into an East Course or West Course, plus flexible pairings favored by regional professionals.
The Dunes nine is the standout: its highest point, between the 6th and 7th holes, delivers a panoramic view across the valley to Pattaya's high-rise skyline, the port at Laem Chabang, and the ocean beyond. The gentler Crystal nine serves as a comfortable lead-in before the more demanding, scenic Dunes holes. Since hosting the 2010 Thailand Open, Burapha has often routed golfers on the tougher A-C or B-D combinations — insider tip: ask for B-D to play the same routing the professionals used.
The clubhouse itself is functional rather than luxurious, but the surrounding facilities — swimming pools, tennis courts, and exercise areas — make it a good choice for groups traveling with non-golfing family members.

Before you play
Caddie required. A tip is separate unless your confirmed quotation explicitly includes it.
Tell us your preferred tee time, handicap range and any rental requirements. For a larger group, we can discuss consecutive tee times rather than assuming everyone can play in one flight.
Getting there
Your hotel location matters as much as the destination name. Share the exact pickup point so we can allow for city traffic and the time needed to warm up before your round.
