Golf Courses in Bangkok: 42 Courses, Green Fees & Tee Times (2026)

The best budget option close to the city (31 km from BKK). Clean layout, reasonable conditioning, and you’re back in Bangkok for lunch. A good warm-up round if you’re playing a premium course the next day.

Near Don Mueang Airport — useful if you’re flying domestic or on a budget carrier. Straightforward parkland golf at a fair price.

The one budget course with a genuine claim to fame: the par-3 9th hole was named one of Golf Magazine’s Top 500 Holes in the World. Night golf available here too, if that matters. Worth the drive for the curiosity factor alone.

The closest course to downtown Bangkok at just 23 km. Over 2,000 mature trees line the fairways — an unusually green, shaded course for a city that can feel relentlessly hot. Good for a quick weekday round when you don’t want to spend an hour in traffic.

The only Arnold Palmer design in Bangkok. “The King” put his name on over 300 courses worldwide, and this one sits just 29 km from the airport. A parkland layout that’s well-maintained and carries the Palmer signature: strategic but fair, with enough risk-reward to keep things interesting.

A Robert Trent Jones Jr. course for under a hundred dollars. Let that sink in. RTJ Jr. has designed over 250 courses globally, and Green Valley delivers on that pedigree with a proper championship layout at 7,051 yards. Just 21 km from Suvarnabhumi Airport — close enough for a morning round before an evening flight.

The Swiss Army knife of Bangkok golf. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo (six majors, three Masters, three Open Championships), located just 15 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport, and connected to a Le Méridien resort if you want to stay on-site. Night golf available. At 6,964 yards with genuine Faldo design thinking — firm, strategic, demanding precision over power — this is arguably the best overall value on the list when you factor in quality, convenience, and pedigree. If you only play one course in Bangkok, this is the sensible choice.

A modern design with transfer included in the price — a nice touch that effectively brings the all-in cost down. Clean conditioning, good facilities, and a course that won’t embarrass itself next to the bigger names.

36 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., routed through former rice paddies with water features and wildlife that give the course a character most Bangkok layouts can’t match. Two full RTJ Jr. courses at this price? That’s a full day of golf for what one round costs in most Western cities.

Designed by Garry Roger Baird (USGA member, LPGA venue designer), Royal Gem’s signature concept is its replica holes — recreations of famous holes from iconic courses around the world. Par 71, 6,629 yards. Whether the replicas fully deliver is debatable, but the ambition alone makes it distinctive.

This is the emotional centerpiece of Bangkok golf. In 1997, a 21-year-old Tiger Woods won the Asian Honda Classic here by 10 shots at 20-under par — a demolition that foreshadowed what was coming at Augusta two months later. Designed by Denis Griffiths (President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects), Thai Country Club is consistently ranked in Asia’s top 5, and its caddies are widely regarded as the best in Thailand.

At 7,157 yards, the course rewards accuracy and course management. The conditioning is immaculate. You can play where Tiger played — and the green fee is less than what you’d pay at most resort courses in the US.

The most unusual course in Bangkok, and possibly the most unusual bookable course in Asia. Designed by Thai architect Pirapon Namatra, Nikanti is all-inclusive — green fee, caddy, cart, food, drinks, and practice facilities are all bundled in. The course runs a unique 6-6-6 loop format (three loops of six holes each) instead of the traditional front nine/back nine, which means you can play 6, 12, or 18 holes without ever feeling like you stopped mid-round. First of its kind in Asia.

Bangkok’s most historically significant course. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Navatanee for the 1975 World Cup of Golf — the first time an international championship-caliber course was built in Thailand, effectively launching the country’s golf industry. Golf Digest rates it as the best in Bangkok. At 6,902 yards and just 16 km from the city center, it’s also one of the most accessible premium options.

The newest course on this list (opened 2021) and the top of the price range. Designed by Toby Cobb, a protégé of both Tom Doak and the Coore & Crenshaw team — names that matter deeply to architecture-minded golfers. The Siam brand carries serious weight in Thai golf (their Pattaya courses are legendary). Zoysia and Bermuda playing surfaces, modern design philosophy, and the kind of conditioning you’d expect from the most expensive round in Bangkok.
