The playing experience
A course with several nines offers different combinations, so ask which routing is included in your quotation. The published yardage can refer to a particular pair of nines or tee selection. Confirm the planned 18 holes when booking, especially if you are returning and want to experience another combination.
Laem Chabang International Country Club is one of six Thailand courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, and consistently ranks among the country's best. Opened in the early 1990s, the course spreads 27 holes across 700 acres of genuinely mixed terrain — mountains, lakes, and river valleys — with each nine named for the landscape it occupies: Mountain, Lake, and Valley.
That terrain variety is the course's defining feature. The Mountain nine winds through rolling hills; the Lake nine weaves around water hazards and exposed rock formations; the Valley nine, the longest of the three at roughly 3,600 yards, threads through foothills where water hazards arrive with sudden, knee-trembling force after a deceptively quiet opening stretch. Together, the three nines can be paired in any combination, meaning regular players rarely face the exact same round twice.
Laem Chabang also holds a distinction no other Pattaya course offers: night golf, available from 3:30pm at rates that match daytime pricing — a genuinely useful option for golfers working around Thailand's midday heat or a tight itinerary.

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.
